The News: Friends Are Important Edition

I’m afraid I’m a little philosophical today, bear with me. Yesterday I had both the worst and best day ever, and several friends are the reason it got pulled out of the garbage heap. We all have those few good friends who can put a smile on your face when you’re down, who can make you laugh when you really wanted to cry, who can pick you up when all you want to do is hide. Most of us don’t tell them how much we appreciate them, but we really should. So this is for my friends, you know who you are (and the fact that I know you’re reading this when most of you are decidedly NOT tech-savvy speaks volumes). Thank you for being you. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for never doubting me. And thank you for helping me realize that regardless of what some people say or do, I am not unworthy of your trust and esteem.
