Friends

I've been quiet the past week or so. Intentional, since I'm really trying to start and end my day with some sort of good thought instead of hitting the floor in the morning whining. Oh, I've whined off and on to my on-line friends, but I've really friend to limit that. I know we all have our issues, and when all is said and done, mine aren't that bad in the scheme of things.

When I brought in the mail yesterday there was a package, and my first thought was "great, [unnamed vendor] finally sent my rock order.". But no, that wasn't it.

One of those "on-line" friends sent me a daily devotions book. She just felt that I needed it. It dawned on me. It was getting hard to start my day with good thoughts when I didn't start and end it with God. So, Diane, and Reverend Graham, I'm starting and ending my day with God.

For those who declare that on-line friends aren't real friends, I wholeheartedly disagree. Friends are those who care about you, who give you a [virtual] shoulder to cry on, who celebrates your victories and lift you up in your defeats. They're the people who will tell you when you're right, but can also tell you when you're wrong.
