in good days

I have been feeling fortunate. Fortunate for the good friends i have. I have said before that i don't have many. Friendship is difficult for me. But, more and more i have been trying to work a little harder on that part of my life.
My good friend Kelly nominated me for a Perfect Post.
Perfect Post Award ? 0508
Which is awesome. It's always nice, really nice, to feel a little bit of love.
Yesterday morning had a minor medical emergency which left me feeling very alone for a few moments until i called my friend. She rushed over, picked up my kids for school, took a moment to feel my forehead and give me a gentle smile. It was wonderful. Asking for help is always difficult. I find myself needing to do it more and more often. It makes me feel so warm and gooey inside.
And last week another friend did all my baking responsibilities for the school that i just didn't have the time to follow through on. Not only did she do that with three kids of her own, she also baked a couple dozen for my kids to have.
Another friend in vancouver has been there to listen to me on the phone. To send me lovely emails. She has known me a long time and we have had babies at the same time. Our lives have taken us in different directions, we have lost contact at times, but when we come back together it is always a wonderful feeling.
I am going through a very difficult time right now. These people understand. They understand without judgment, just support. I hold them all very close to my heart and i think of them when i need to feel a little better.

I realize the importance of my friends (or at least, I try to) on a daily basis. There’s nothing like good friends when you’re feeling down.

I was so intrigued by your story that I ignored everything yesterday just to read your past posts.
My only observation? When life gives you a “do over,” why not go for it?
Best wishes.

Back again because I just reread my post.
I did make one other major observation…
I think you sell yourself short. You are a very unique, creative person. Anyone who doesn’t recognize that…well, let’s just say it’s their loss!

Man I need to upgrade my friends! (kidding of course). You sound like you’ve got some rocksolid friends ready and willing to help. Take advantage bc sooner or later they’ll need you right back. That’s sorta what it’s all about.
