Amigos

I think I may have some of the greatest friends in the world. Sometimes I feel like I take my friends for granted because they are such a constant in my life. But lately I have been realizing how wonderful they really are. No matter what I do they are 100% supportive. Don't get me wrong, they definitely offer their opinions, but at the end of the day they are behind me, whatever I decide to do. They remind me who I am when I am down and out and completely disoriented. They cheer me up and drag me out when I think I cannot possibly be social. They help me pick up the pieces when I feel shattered. And above all else, they have helped me have some of the best times of my life.

I am partial to the quote, "If you can count all your true friends on one hand you are a very lucky man (woman)". I consider myself more than lucky.

At times I find myself asking myself this question (taken from a Ben Harper song),"With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?". Sometimes it is easy to let a boy walk in your life and steal all of your thoughts, demand all of your attention, and ultimately drive you crazy, only to completely disappear just as quickly as he appeared. This is when I remember how many people I have around me who care. Until the right one comes along I don't have room for that. I have too many people to appreciate.

Thanks friends.
