I am a person who really likes my space. I really enjoy people -- and I would consider myself a rather nice one -- but sometimes I shy away from too much attachment, even come across sometimes as being disinterested or non-commital. Perhaps a faux pas in my DNA make-up? Sorry folks.
Today, however, I am thankful for those people who get through that wall of mine; the people I call my friends. The people I find myself needing, regardless of any space I claim to need more.
I am thankful for the friend who:
- texts to find out how I'm feeling and whether she can take W off my hands for a bit
- is genuinely concerned about me and always knows what's going on in my life
- calls, just because
- calls to check in and share news (let's be honest, I'm thankful for friends who just call.)
- buys leggings for the little lady...and is especially drawn to them because they're $1.00. Score!
- will get a kick of knowing NKOTB and BSB are performing together
- will always listen and look me in the eye
- always says, "I have something for you," which brings me endless excitement
- is up for anything, and drops everything at a moment's notice
- though we've grown apart, reminds me of where I came from and what my childhood dreams were, and
- makes me laugh, every time, without fail.
I am thankful my sisters are my friends.
I am thankful my mom is my friend.
I am thankful my mother-in-law is my friend.
I am thankful D is my dearest friend.
When I think of these individuals, I'm a little overwhelmed at how lucky I feel to have them in my life. It's like I'm shocked they would want to be around me. So perhaps this is a lesson in self-confidence and learning I have something to give. But regardless, I am so thankful for each of my dear friends and all they have given, taught and shared with me.
Muchas gracias, amigos!
Hugs! I'm thankful for you!
