~ a single soul dwelling in two bodies ~

I have been very blessed in my life. One of the many blessings that I count daily is my friendships. My friends hold a very special place in my heart...

While reading one of my favorite blogs...I saw this post and it touched my heart. It is about a love that is not always mentioned: the love between friends (or best friends):

"The love I am referring to is the love you have for a best friend. It’s unique and so important to have. It’s more than just affection for someone; it’s a deep underlying connection. The comfort of knowing you can tell them everything, and not have to worry about being judged. The first person you tell when something exciting happens, or when something scary happens. The person you turn to when you need to vent. The person you can laugh at because they will just laugh back at you. The person you need to tell things to so your brain doesn’t explode. The person who can make you feel better when you’re having a tough day, the one you turn to for advice. The person you can have full conversations with by merely exchanging glances. And maybe most importantly, the one you tell all your secrets to, especially boy secrets. Someone once told me they thought it was creepy how my best friends and I said “I love you” to each other often. I told them: I think when you love someone, you can’t help but sound at least a little creepy. Love is love. No matter if it’s for your Mom, your cat, a boy, or your best friend. And when you are lucky enough to have people to love, and be loved, you need to let them know how thankful you are for that, and how much you love them back..."

It's so true. I cherish my friends with all my heart. I am lucky to have more than one "best friend" who I turn to (both male and female).

So I dedicate this post to my friends...all of you who have been there for me whenever I needed someone to simply talk to, those of you who make me smile on a bad day, and all of you who brighten my life just by being in it. I thank God for you daily.

My friends truly are the rays of sunshine in my life.
All my love...
