"My Unbroken Circle"

Today has been a day for me to remember. For as much misfortune as I have in my life right now, I have more fortune than I can ever deserve. I speak of my family and friends. Now, family can be pretty much a given when it comes to showing how they feel towards you. Friends, real friends, on the other hand, can sincerely bring happiness into your life and cause the trials and tribulations we face to fade into the back of our minds. I have been truely blessed with friends like these. I am so thankful for each and every one. There are two rules I try my best to live by. One, treat others they way you wish to be treated. It works...miracles. Two, no man is an island. We all need each other. Only a fool would think otherwise of either of these truths.

I may bitch and moan about why things happen as they do, but I am never envious of the blessings that others have. I thank God for those blessings He bestows on others. I may become impatient, but I never take for granted those wonderful people that God has blessed me with knowing, those precious few in my circle of friends. It is days like today that I realize that with all of the wisdom I have gained, all of the heartache I have suffered, the many happy tears I have shed, and all the lessons I have learned, that my life has meant something to someone and that I live not in vain, but with purpose, no matter what I seem not to have. Because I have the most wonderful possession anyone can have...I have you, my unbroken circle of friends. God bless you! Thank you!
