{the best gifts.....EVER}

yes, i've made quite a few posts today.

BUT, I am resizing and uploading a wedding gallery.

A huge wedding gallery.

It has taken me all afternoon and I still have hours left. 

So, as my computer does its work. 

I think.  And, then, I write.

Okay, back to the topic at hand. 

You know, I've mentioned a time or two {okay or 7 or 8 times}

that I have a birthday coming up. 

A big birthday.

And, of course, I may have mentioned that I'm 

planning on lots of cake. :)

Maybe?

If I haven't said it, I am. 

Anyway.

{doesn't that sound like TH?}

I have different plans.

On different days.

Different guests.

Different activities.

And, even though I've always known it.......

it has been a great reminder of just how great

I have been blessed with friendships. 

Some very old {beginning at age 4} some rather

new - but gifts all the same. 

I read this on the blog Between You and Me

it's about  friendships....

a real, sweet, true friend....

listens

loves no matter what

lives in humility

understands and appreciates who you are

celebrates your successes

forgives quickly and asks others to forgive her when needed 

I just hope that I'm that kind of friend!
