Grateful

My heart is full tonight. I'm so grateful and lucky to have so many real friends surrounding me, sharing their lives, loves, triumphs, laughter, fears, drama and secrets with me, and carrying mine. No games, no judgments, just genuine openness and caring and acceptance in good times and bad. To know that they care about me the way they do... there are almost no words, but I found the best I could. I took the opportunity this evening to let these people know just how deeply I care for them and how they've made my life richer in every way. I don't know how articulate I was but that hardly matters. I didn't do it for myself but I got more out of their responses in kind than I could have dreamed and the gorgeous smiles on their faces were priceless to me, and unforgettable. I hope they're still smiling. I am blessed.
