Posted: 01.02.2003 If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose
The best friends I've ever had in my life will tell me that I'm wrong. Often. Or being inconsiderate. Or being stupid. Or being outspoken. Or being an ass. Or wallowing in my own self-pity -- or banging my head against an uncrackable wall -- just a little too long. They've heard me laugh. Let me scream. And passed the tissues when I've cried. They note my faults and discuss them with me one-on-one, rather than putting them up on a message board or another blog for all to point and gawk at. They realize because I'm human, I can be just as hurt by labels and insults whether given face to face or behind the security of a monitor. I've never claimed that I'm perfect. But I do strive to be the same type of friend I want in return. And I can't tell you how thankful I am for my blog -- because all of the bullshit aside -- it's allowed me to meet these three women in person and call them a "a real friend".
For all that you have been, when I couldn't be myself. For the listening ears When I could not speak. For the time you donated, When I was running out of it. For the laughters you brought, When there were tears in me. For the courage you suggested, When all I had was fear. For the smile that you offered When sadness invaded me. For the goodness you showed, When I saw only the worst. For the comfort you gave, When I was losing confidence. For being a FRIEND, When I wanted support. For the prayers you've recited, When I only see myself mourning. When for being there, When I couldn't find myself. For everything, When I have got nothing. For simply being...my friend. -Author Unknown Starting a new year with great friends makes it worth getting up every day -- even when those days include the flu.  I love you because you're you. You don't pretend to be something your not. If you were like me, well, I don't know... sometimes I can't stand myself. ;o) Love ya babe. ¤ ¤ credit: statia | 01.02.03 at 08:34 PM | link- -this ¤ ¤ awww, i'm touched. that's an awesome post. i feel the same way, my blog has allowed me to meet some of the best people i know!! ¤ ¤ credit: yvonne | 01.02.03 at 09:25 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Ah, you have too many friends already.
