Im really thankful that I have a variety of friends, a mix that I can call upon to fulfill the roll they fill in my life when I need them. Granted that typically when I need them to fill what ever niche they fill I don't realize how much I need them until I am there with them, or in retrospect. Or, until I am there with a different friend and realize how thankful I am I have that person in my life, but thankful that all my friends are not the same. I recently saw a story, blip, review, what ever you call it, on the Today show of the 6 friends every woman needs to have for a good life. Well, I think I maybe had 3 or 4 of those 6. But you know I'm fine with that. Honestly, I think those labels were a little ridiculous, overrated, and based on mass generalizations not individual people. Why should we classify our friends? Why not? How many of these friends do you have?
What about your cynical friend to judge others with, your eternal optimist friend, the self esteem boosting friend, the movie going friend, the guilty pleasure TV watching friend, same diet friend, inspirational friend that makes you want to do better, creative and thought provoking friend. . . . ? Remember in middle / high school when we tried so hard to fit in and be like everyone else? So thankful I have such a variety of friends and they are not all the same!

That's lovely! Friendship is a gift to be treasured; I don't have many friends, in fact I can count them with one hand. I've met a lot of people, but I can only call friends to those who really know me in my good days and the bad ones and still support me. I think friendship should be selfless. This is a beautiful post, thanks for stopping by my blog :)
