My friends

I have decided that I really like my friends. Now, this may seem obvious, that one would like his or her friends. But sometimes it's good to sit down and really think about your friends.

There are probably a thousand and one reasons why I love each of my friends. Here are a few for this holiday weekend...

They support me when I do crazy things - like train to compete in a triathlon.
They share my joy when I have good news - like when Mark and I decided to move in together.
They allow me to share in their joy - like when they get engaged.
They yell at me when I'm being stupid - like taking my boyfriend for granted.
They listen to me when I'm sad and I can't burden anyone else with my heavy load - like when Mark gets sick.
They email me just to say hello and update me on the little details in their lives - like which shoes they will wear for their wedding or what they will name their new puppy.
They allow me to support them - like when they are having a difficult time with their boyfriend.
They share their lives with me and make me a part of their most important moments - like when they get married or buy a new house.

I just like my friends. A lot. I hope you like yours, too.

Happy Memorial Day.
