Friendship Part 1

One of the biggest blessings a person can be given is to have a friendship with someone with whom you can TOTALLY be yourself.  The type of relationship composed of ingredients such as non-judgement, unconditional acceptance and authenticity. A place where the friendship grows despite differences that arise or the varying circumstances that often present themselves in life. I believe these relationships qualify as an enormous blessing in that behind all of the ingredients listed above, they ultimately allow for people to grow and expand their spirits, boundaries, and beliefs  in a safe way.

Fortunately, I've had the opportunity to have many friendships in my life path that 'fit the bill' above. Some relationships have faded, some faded and returned, and a few that have remained constant over time. For each circumstance, and despite the outcome, all of these friendships have propelled me to grow in ways I couldn't have on my own. It's been good, to say the least...and each individual has special place in my history/present that is surrounded by gratitude.

Just a passing thought necessary to record....

Cheers!

*My sister is one such relationship that deserves a shout out. She's hysterical. We have grown close over time and with her, humor knows no limits.
