Ode to an (unexpected) friend

I know you are with me. You're always with me.

What amazing words -the words of a friend. And it is true. There are certain people in our lives who are always with us. We go through experiences, sometimes very moving ones, and these friends seem to understand our stories even before the words are out of our mouths. Yet still they listen as if they are hearing us for the very first time.

Nothing can take the place of such a friend - the welcoming smile when you say hello, the dancing eyes when in on a shared joke, the listening heart when oh, so needed! I can think of no greater blessing than such a friend.

When with this friend, it is as if nothing else in the world is needed. Being with them even beats shopping. Hey, there's a thought! Maybe I should take my friend shopping and get the best of both worlds (smile).

No title for this one

Today I am not feeling lavish at all. I am way beyond peevish!!!!

If I weren't so tired, I would go out dancing. But even that probably wouldn't make me feel better.
