Bloggy

I'm feeling a little bloggy today.  That is kinda like froggy but only instead of very little coming out of your throat, there is very little coming out of your blog.

Here is the reason for my bloggy-ness; I'm feeling a little under the weather.  I've got a head cold going on and this doesn't mix well with track coach.

Regardless of my ills and woes, I'll overcome my bloggy-ness for some brief thoughts on friendship.

Can I just say...I really love my friends.

I was just thinking how blessed I am to be such close friends with so many people.  I have more than just one best friend...I'm not sure if that is allowed.  Then I have countless 'stand up in your wedding' type of friends (I'm going to need to have a BIG wedding!  I'm talking like wedding party of 20 + tee hee hee).  Then, there are those who go out of their way to encourage me and keep in touch, these are friendships that are so valuable and too numerous to count.

I don't mean to say this to brag about my sheer volume of friends...who knows, maybe the majority of whom I consider friends wouldn't consider me a friend.  ;)

The reason I'm feeling extra blessed today is because I rarely take the time to stop and think about how many people are constantly praying for me, giving me a pat on the back, loving on me, or just thinking about me.

I think one of the biggest blessings in my life has been my friends (topped only by my Savior and my family).  There to sit with me through heartbreak, to laugh with me through the best of sarcastic banter, to kick me in the rear when I need it, and best of all, there to share life with me.

I'm going to go take a nice heavy dose of some cold medicine now, I'm sure I'll be fine until the morning.  But if I'm not, I can count on a lot of people checking in on me.   :)
