Good friends are essential

It's a truth we all know, and it's one we (I) sometimes take for granted. I've been very blessed to always have 1, and for the most part, a dozen or more good, true, fabulous, close friends in my life. Not everyone can say that yet I can, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank the universe for this.

Each friend I have is special and they compliment me in different ways. Sometimes they even shower me with compliments! (lol - my friends appreciate my bad humour, or at the very least, put up with it). Some are those that fuel my crazy-side - we always come home from a night out with a story that could be on tv. Others are those who I talk out my life problems with while walking along the ocean. Others are ones that I disappear into the wilderness with for a week with no showers, deodorant or mirrors, and we come out better than every. Truth be told, most of my friends fit into all those categories.

Some people are only in our lives for certain periods like my best friend from preschool - grade 1, Danielle Tobie. She was my next door neighbor (we lived on either side of a duplex), our brothers shared the same name, we loved dolls and as such we were inseparable from the moment her family moved in, until they moved away to Gibson Landing. It might as well have been Africa as far as we were concerned. (This was the time before the internet and all) But she made an impact in my life, and I thank her for that. Danielle - you could see we were girls of style even way back then...

This is what happened when my mom let me do my own hair and pick out my own clothes - amazing! (Danielle on the left, me on the right)

So a big shout out to all the ladies in my life who help and support me being me - you make this life a wonderful experience!
