FRIENDSHIP

How many of us can say we have a true friend?
A friend.......... Not a co-worker - Not a wife of your husbands best buddy - Not someone you can talk to only certain subjects about but everything - even your DEEPEST - DARKEST of secrets?
I have been blessed to find friendship in my life that I have and would share my utmost horrifying trials with as well as the most wonderful of times. I think a soulmate would be a grand way of describing this friendship. Oh and if I forget what I was saying no worries because she can certainly finish the sentence for me.
A Gray Sheep is an odd animal - Why not just a sheep? To normal....A Gray one is much harder to come across.
Although I have been blessed to share a brain with a wonderful person in my life and it really doesn't get any more perfect as we agree to agree but agreeing to disagree can become quite a Fabulous part of your life too.
Which starts the story of another True Friendship in my life. Now this friendship had to grow through the years exspecially those Rocky Teen Years when you just know you ARE Right heehee. But through all those trials and errors I have found a person that has as many thoughts as I do and if they are not the same thoughts well we R E S P E C T each other and move on to the next subject in our lives. I do love the feeling though of being able to hear another persons views on things, in fact it does me good and it makes this friendship stronger. Not that we always disagree because we don't.
I just wanted to Celebrate Friendships and Focus on why mine are so very special.
Tell ME about your Special Friendships - I would love to hear...

This is only the beginning....

I Need A Place To Share My Thoughts......

As Much as I LOVE to.......

Argue every thought in my head with my Daughter Hailey who is almost 13 going on 20.

Although when she is the President I suppose I will love those traits -

As Much as I LOVE to.......

Chat with My almost 6 year old Sweet Daughter Piper who is sure chocolate can solve everything and is always ready to listen until she finds the remote and turns on Cartoon Network -

As Much as I LOVE to.......

Try to explain ME to My Dear Husband Ronnie ummmmmmmm well he just doesn't get it ;) -

As Much as I LOVE to.......

Snuggle with my Fur Babies and tell them my woes and I must admit they are pretty great considering they never talk back and they hang on every word until a food smell hits their noses - - -
