Friends are the family you choose!

"The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it."--Ralph Waldo Emerson

I had a great conversation with a cousin of mine today. We don't live close together but try to keep in touch and I truly enjoy our conversations when we get the chance to have them. We were talking about how grateful we were for our friends. Both of us talked about a great group of "grown up" friends that we rely on and think of as a family. I am truly grateful to my girlfriends and hope that they know how much they are appreciated. I have seen a poem traveling around on emails that talks about all the different kinds of friends a person needs and I think the gals in my circle fit the bill for me. I just hope I do for them. Make sure your friends know how much you appreciate them today!
