Friends

Oh, yesterday was a tough one. We are getting really close to the dreaded changes in my work responsibilities and hours (click here for a refresher) and I find myself dreading it more and more. Add to that some personal anxiety issues and then a misunderstanding about policy at work and I was really more than done. I did something I almost never do, I vented on Facebook. Nothing too specific (no name calling or anything). I was just so angry, disappointed, and disillusioned at that moment that it just came flooding out. And a funny thing happened. I started getting encouraging and funny comments back. My friends were trying to cheer me up! Old friends from high school, work friends, and cyber friends all posted comments or sent private messages to let me know I'm not alone.

I am so grateful for my friendships.  Some of these folks I haven't seen in years, some I may never meet face to face. Some I see almost daily and have taken for granted. All of them are a precious gift from God. I am very blessed!
