24 DAYS OF THANKS
#6 - I am thankful for my friends. I have been blessed in my life with some of the best friends that I could ever imagine. We pull together in good times and in bad. We have grown with each other for years and experienced every emotion together. We have stood by each others sides at times of happiness, as well as times of loss and sadness. We are each others leg to stand on, shoulder to cry on and people to smile and party with. There is a bond that is unbreakable. We are growing together as a family while we all grew from "kids" to "adults," our numbers have also grow with girlfriends, boyfriends, wives, husbands and children. They all bring joy to my life in their own way. I am one lucky lady.

I thought I would share some of my favorite quotes about change... making these changes in my life I have been thinking a lot about how some people (and even myself at some times) are so reluctant to change.
