friends

Cathlene's friend/coworker came to hang out w/ me a the coffee shop. She just got a birthday card for a friend. And it really touched my heart.

A Best Friend...
is there when you need someone,
but understands when you want to be alone.
Sees the bright side of a bad hair day.
Remembers when you met.
Notices when you lose five pounds
and gets excited about it...

A best friend...
knows your favorite song,
and what you like on your pizza.
Shares your favorite memories.
Appreciates your sence of humor (or lack there of.)
Is up for anything, and never lets you down.

You're the kind of person
who makes friendship
a lifelong adventure
I'm so glad we're friends.

It made me think.. What makes good friendships? Isn't it special when a friend knows you like onions and peperoni on your pizza? Or you think back on the time you sat at a coffee shop and poured your heart out? Or how about they know that you're sensitive, and that's ok!

What is real friendship to you? Is it someone you hang out w/ just to hang out? Or someone who really knows you?

I have to say, I stink at the friendship game. I always give way too much or way too little. Not many people know how to accept me right where I am.

Just for the record:
I like onions on my pizza
i love mexican food but w/o the hot sauce.
I love animals and dream of living on a ranch someday.
i am sentimental and have tons of "keep sakes" from special times.
I'm embarraced to do sports around other people (even walking.)
I love sunflowers and daphodils.
i want to get married in the rain
I enjoy being my own person and not conforming to the crowd.

Did You know those things about me?
