Where my girls at…

I jumped on the bandwagon on facebook today for all the Thanksgiving thankfulness… which since I’m such a non conformist normally is kinda weird for me, but hey we all have our sentimental moments and I probably have low blood sugar or something… But I can without a doubt say I don’t know where I would be without my girls!

I’m so grateful for all my girl friends and the strengths I see in them that inspire me to be a better person. Like my dear friend whose husband left after years of being married and everyday is a struggle but she gets up and faces it with a smile, her spirit is undeniable! Or my old friend whose husband has made a TON of mistakes and she stuck by him and has helped him through so much, her well of strength floors me and I can honestly say  I don’t think I have it in me to do half the stuff she has.

 My friend who embraces life to the fullest and is collecting every story for her tell all book one day J which has inspired me to write when I can.  The one that has got it together better than I could ever hope to, I hope to raise my daughter to follow in her footsteps. The one that set out to attain her goals and has never let anything stand in the way of her success J just being around her makes me tired and appreciate her type A personality.  My two dear friends that made up our little trio and no matter what would never judge and would only offer solutions to problems and a listening ear whenever it was needed. 

To my one that lives far away, but no matter how far we always pick up right where we left off and the one that I hardly ever see, but it never seems to matter when we are together. My one that moved across country for her career and is so completely sure of herself that I often try to think about how she would handle situations and emulate her.  My one that is always willing to tell me her opinion on how to handle things but is never offended when I don’t necessarily take it.  And to the sister of my heart that has supported me through thick and thin, has laughed and cried with me and will always be there for me. 

I’m truly blessed to have my girls and I hope that they feel blessed to have me, not only because of how much I love them but because they are all a part of me and make up the story of me. I often borrow on their strengths and determination to handle my life situations and I hope I can do them proud. J
