day # 2... i am on a roll ! :)

so, truth # 2 about me ~ the question is:

what do you love about yourself???

i sort of thought that this would be difficult for me to answer seeing as there is so much about myself that i do not like ~ certainly if i dig down deep enough there should be something that i DO like about myself. i knew the question, and pondered it for awhile, jumped on facebook to see what was going on with all of those friends of mine ~ and then it dawned on me **epiphany** ~ the thing that i know that i do love about myself.... I LOVE THAT I HAVE FABULOUS FRIENDS... :)

ok, so i am forty ~ something ~ and i have to say that i have always (and i know always seems unrealistic but i think it is true) ~ always been surrounded by wonderful friends. i honestly can say that i do not know what i would do without them ~ they make up my world and, i am guessing, love me for who i am and don't ask questions for things i do that they don't understand. they just accept me where i am ~ which is a lot in today's world because i think, for the most part, we all have tons of junk but they choose to look past the junk and see me for who i am ~ and love me just the same.

there is something to be said for those people who come into your life who you know have been sent for a reason. the friends you laugh with, the friends you drink margaritas with, the friends you cry with, the friend you ask "do these jeans make my butt look big" and you know even if your butt does look big they will always lie to you and say "no". the friends you tell all of your deepest dreams to, the friends you share all the awful secrets of your life with, the friends you text just to say "i love you in my life" ~ because they give you courage, they give you hope, they give you sanity when you think you are totally losing it.

i love the people i have surrounded myself with ~ each of them equally but for very different reasons. they are beautiful, wonderful, amazing, strong, courageous, intelligent, creative, talented, fun, caring, loving, compassionate, spiritual women. my friends are the one piece of concrete evidence that i cling to that tells me that God is taking care of me. (which if you knew where i really stood with God right now you would know that just my saying that is HUGE). they each have a special place in my life and although i am sure that i do not tell them enough ~ i love them and i love that they are on this crazy roller coaster ride of life with me ! there are a few that i wish i had on a more regular, day to day basis, but they are not far from my thoughts.

yep, if i had to choose something that i love about myself ~ it would be those people who are my friends... i could not do life without you!!! :)
