Let’s just pause for a moment and be grateful for friends…not so much the ginormous network of people on facebook or twitter that “like” our posts, but the people who know and love us no matter what. I have gratitude for friends that don’t judge my yoga pants, despite the fact that I don’t do yoga. I have thanks for those that recognize it’s totally normal for me to worry over Halloween decorations in May. Mad love for those that text me and tell me to come the hell out of hiding and be social, because sometimes, yes, I do need to be in good company. Props to those that don’t bat an eyelash when I say I’m on this weird food regimen and am not supposed to eat bread, and I tell them this while slathering a biscuit with apple butter. Cheers to the ones that hand me ice cold Jager shots and tell me to mellow out. Thank you for those that have been along for the ride since elementary school and others that have jumped on board the crazy train in the last couple decades. Mad love, big thanks today and every day.
