Life Is Wonderful

Lately I am feeling such a deep gratitude for my blessings. I just returned from a weekend with 10 of my most cherished friends. Our annual retreats have turned into such a therapeutic get away for me. We come home refreshed and renewed. Our batteries fully charged through unconditional love for each other. With out these girls, my life is great; I have an amazing sister, brothers and in-laws anyone would love, a mother with the most generous and beautiful spirit. My own Husband and children are my dreams come true. Having 10 best friends is an extra blessing I am so greatful for.
What the girlies teach me:
1) Garland. All that beauty that only Tiffinee can teach us to add to a room.
2) Unconditional love. The kind we all see in Joy's eyes
3) Patients. The kind of understanding Shalice always looks at me with.
4) Comfort. Like the easiness and peace of having Annalee with us after so many years.
5) Insight. The way Sherine can add deep wisdom to bless all our lives.
6) Laughter. Steph’s ability to make me forget all my worries and laugh so hard I almost pee.
7) Endurance. Like the simple way Jen makes even the toughest situations seem easy.
8) Tenderness. The way Mindy can tell what's wrong with you just by looking at you.
9) Practicality. Kalli's way of looking at the world.
10) Integrity. The way Jessica puts first things first.
I love you all so much. I am blessed beyond words to call myself your friend.
