So, as I considered what to write about this holiday, it occurred to me that I could spend a whole post whining about all the things I am not thankful for, or I could write about what I am thankful for.

While I have lots of fodder for the former, I choose the later because I find myself more inclined to focus on the positive than the negative.

So this week I will say a few words about a few things I am thankful for.

I start with my friends.

I am blessed to have the best and coolest friends on the planet.  They are there for me as I go through these stressful days.  They inspire me, they comfort me and they humble me.  And sometimes, when I need it, they do the most important thing I can ask:  They tell me the truth.

I have friends from my childhood, and friends made just this year and countless in between. 

Some are local, some are far away, but all are precious. 

There a even a few I have never actually met, yet our lives have been touched.

I feel no need to single any out, they know who they are, and they are all important each in their own unique way.

I hope in the years to come we stay close and remain the true friends we are.

“My friends have overlooked my shortcomings, seen me through some dark days and brightened up the rest of them. I’m lucky to have them. Hell, I’m honored to have them.”

~~ Murphy, ‘Murphy’s Romance’

Couldn’t say it better myself.
