Friends

Headed out to meet some friends tonight. These ladies have been in my life many years. They've poured wisdom into me, hugged me when I was broken, made me laugh until I cried, and made me a better human being. What else could a girl ask for? Friends can be tricky.  I've gotten invited into some groups I've bowed out of. I've been befriended by some I've stepped away from. I truly believe I should be with those who help my being. Those I know I am safe around. Girls who will tell me the truth but not be snide about it. I am fully aware this does not happen by chance and yet I consider myself lucky and blessed to have not only these ladies but many more (and a few guy friends who've stood by me).
