I woke up with a smile today, knowing that in just a few hours, my best friend is coming to visit. I can't wait to see her, spend time together doing anything and everything, long nights catching up on each others lives, sharing opinions about just about everything, and just enjoying each others company. It doesn't matter how far apart we live, or how seldom we speak to each other. Our friendship is one of those that even if we spend months apart, we pick up right where we left off.
"You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes." - Winnie The Pooh
You can define success in life any which way you want, but too often it is measured in dollars and cents. However, no one is richer than those who have friends to share life's little pleasures with. Not the kind of friends who are only there when life is good, but gone when you really could use a kind word or a shoulder to cry on. But the ones who stick with you through the good and bad; who share in your laughter when you are happy, and are there for you when life seems unbearable; the ones who don't judge, but lend a listening ear and advice when you ask for it - and not when you don't; the ones who let you make your own mistakes - because who are they to decide if you will be successful or not if you don't try? The ones you can call in the middle of the night, even after you are all grown up, because you just really, really need to talk; the ones who love you when you have forgotten to love yourself. Those kind of friends make life worth living!
So here's to best friends! Make sure yours knows how special she is in your life!
