I Am Blessed

Just got back from working out - my friend, Ron, and I have decided to be accountability partners on the whole workout thing - so we started tonight - we'll see how long it lasts! :) We worked out at his apartment complex because it has a great gym - and on my way over - I took a look out to Saddleback mountain and the surrounding mountians and the sun had just set and it was just beautiful - one of God's creations. So I didn't talk to my mom today - so no mom stories - but I wanted to take a moment to tell a work story - my friends at work know that I've been having a tough time lately with everything going on with my mom and where concerned when I called in sick yesterday - so today at lunch I walk over and my favorite trio of friends bought me a nice gardenia plant with a card and the cutest stuffed frog - and the sentiment they expressed in the card made me cry - they are truly a blessing. And speaking of friends - I just want each and every one of you that is reading this to know how blessed I feel to count you as my friend - you are very special in my eyes (in God's too) and you truly are the family that I have chosen! I am blessed.
