Friends and blessings

I've been looking through old pics today (trying to find one to send to a friend) and was just reminded how many truly funny, smart, kind, interesting, caring, giving and amazing people I've had the honor to call my friend in the last 20+ years. All of them have a piece of my heart. All of them taught me something that has helped me on my journey. It is really a blessing that I am still in contact with so many of them. I can't imagine where I would be without having those friendships. I hope that when I look back 20 years from now I can say the same thing about the friends that I am developing relationships with now. You never know how a friend will affect your life. What you learn from them, what you truly give to them, what lasting memories you will have, what comfort they can bring you and you to them. So, in honor of all my friends I lift my glass of lemonade and say "L'Chaim!" (Oh dear can you tell I've been reading up on my Hebrew phrases. :) )
