help from my friends

August

friends

I cannot let Sunday’s holiday go by without some type of recognition.  What was the holiday?  The first Sunday in August is National Friendship Day. 

I definitely could not have gotten through the last year without my friends.  (Some of these friends also happen to be family members – you know who you are!)

Friendship Day is a fabulous time to recognize all my very special friends.  Tonight I enjoyed a casual evening outdoors with two of these very special friends – a great way to honor the day.

I owe such a debt of gratitude to everyone who has been helping me through this challenging time.  Please know how very much I appreciate you!

Use this post as an inspiration to get in touch with a friend you may not have spoken to in a while…maybe a childhood or high school friend.

In my book, National Friendship Day is every day!  :)

It has been a crazy week for me – a very busy time for two of my jobs! One was in Texas and gave me the opportunity to travel to the Lone Star state for the very first time. The Texas weather could have been better – the area I visited experienced some of the rain that has been so severe in parts of Texas as well as some other areas of the South.

In spite of the weather, I experienced many bright spots in my life over the past few days. It wasn’t the weather providing these bright spots…the sunshine was provided by the people I met! My job gave me the opportunity to meet many fabulous people and the experience made my heart sing!

I had to hit the ground running when I got back from my few days away – very busy with another job and trying to control the wave of sadness over the loss of a friend’s brother that really breaks my heart.

So, Friday field trip today is just a few quick glimpses of the location I visited in Texas. I thank those I worked with in addition to all the new people I met for making me smile during a week that ends with heartbreak – particularly for my dear, sweet, friend that lost her brother.  xoquote about my new friends with flowers pleasure in simple things blog
