as Thanksgiving draws closer, it is a time for much reflection. i like to think i am often reflective and thankful. however this year, i have never been as grateful as i am this year of my friendships. the lack of productiveness in my life at this time is false. i know i am not physically seeing the "fruits of my labor", but i am feeling it. my friendship with my best friend of twenty plus years, has grown. it has grown beyond the realms of my expectations. we have learned to trust each other on a new level that as been truly rewarding. our years of laughter, memories made through the phases of mother-hood, special occasions, sadness, and disappointments didn't prepare me for the true raw feelings of this stage of our friendship.
so on this Thanksgiving Eve, i give thanks...my heart is filled with the warm of another level of friendship.....
