Friends

Do you ever have one of those really BAD days??? My grandma used to say, "Sabrena, you got up on the wrong side of the bed." Off the subject, but there would be mornings where I would think about this, the bed was next to the wall, what other side is there for me to get out of bed?

Anyway, get up and grumpy. Then it's like one thing after another - kids are fighting, house is a mess, coffee is gone, etc. And the day just doesn't seem to be improving.

Then you get a phone call or a visit from a friend. Not just any friend, the one friend. The one who somehow lifts your spirits for no other reason except they're around. I'm so blessed to have friends like that. The ones that just show up for no real reason or agenda, just to hang out and see how you are.

I can always tell when I've made a new friend because I'll call them or they'll call me. Between IMing and texting, actually talking on the phone doesn't happen often enough. (David would totally disagree, he hates talking on the phone, but I'm a woman and I LOVE to talk.)

Anyway, thanks to the folks who just show up. You have no idea how much that means to me!
