Friendship Friday - Reflections on Gratitude


Happy Friday Divas!!!

I hope you've all had a fantastic week! It's been a minute since I connected with Create With Joy's Friendship Friday but this week's theme really made me pause and reflect on where I currently am in life.

Question Of The Week

Question Of The Week
What are you most grateful in your life for at this moment?
What small things do you usually take for granted
But wish to celebrate now?
Join me in expressing those things you are most grateful for
At this week’s Friendship Friday!

Right now at this moment, I'm thankful for the gift of friendship.
I've never been one to have to many people in my circle.  For whatever reason over the past year or so, my circle of girlfriends has grown tremendously.  Not just friends I hang out with occasionally, but friends who truly are there for you. Share a common bond, laugh and cry with you, fight for and with you, correct you when you need it...you name it and they're there before you even realize the words left there mouths.
 
I'm thankful for them because I'm an internalizer.  When things go haywire, I tend to shut down. However when you have a group of divas that will check on you if you go silent via text message or social media after more than a day (sometimes less) - it's hard to do that.
 
These divas are the best psychiatrists I never paid for!  Take them for granted - I think not. I cherish the bonds we share and wonder why it took so long to open myself up to receive this awesome gift of sisterhood and camaraderie we share???
 
I'm glad I did though and look forward to the many adventures we'll share through the years.

  Happy Friday Divas!!! Enjoy your weekends!
