Friends...

are like therapists, on the big couch of life.

Girlfriends. Ladies with wisdom to share, advice to impart, and laughter to enjoy. Understanding and patient ears. Kind words that travel through e mail, via telephone, in person or by blog comments. Encouragement that comes from knowing none of us are alone. Generosity of spirit and helping hands. Someone to hear and someone that cares. Inspiration from seeing other women living well, loving their families, and sharing their lives.

I am thankful today for friends. You've taught me so much. You are good for the soul. I am impressed and refreshed by you. Thank you, thank you to my dear friends, near and far, you know who you are.
