Thank YOU for Being a Friend

After my last blog (four days ago), my plan was to write a daily 'gratitude' post. I already knew that my #2 post (after family) would be expressing my deep gratitude for my friends. The fact that I have been unable to update this daily blog in days because I have been out with friends for the past four nights is a testament to how lucky I am. Seriously. I have the most amazing friends!
As I was going through pictures to add to this post, I was overwhelmed with the number of truly remarkable people I have met in my life- people that I can call my friends. From childhood, to high school, to college, through my 20's, and now as as adult, I have been blessed.
I started narrowing the pics by just saying "Oh, I HAVE to include one from this time period" or "I HAVE to have one of this person." Even after about 6 rounds of cuts, I was still at 44 pictures- all of which were "must includes."
Fear not, I did force myself to cut the list.
*** Please note: I only have access to pictures (with few exceptions) since the digital age. Also dear friends, please know that if you do not see your gorgeous face below, trust that I most surely thought of you as I reminisced about the past three (I MEAN TWO AND A HALF) decades of my life.
I am tempted to start naming names, but if I started- I wouldn't be able to stop. I love you my friends. Thank you for being in my life and making me a better person.

Kare-
Thanks for posting a picture of my favorite memory at Ricks. The Halloween Dance.
You are good people. You are a good friend and have provided me with some choice memories over the years. I am grateful for thee.

Only one comment on the friend post!? Where are all these alleged friends?

Thank you for being a friend. Travelin' down the road and back again. Your heart is true. You're a friend and a confident.

Just some words of wisdom to ponder. Oh..these photos. I can't believe ya'll let me hang out with you while I was still in highschool...I mean, how cool did that make me? (Or was it because I had keys to the Toshime Studio?)
