Friends...

Yesterday afternoon, I did something I rarely do - I left our home and went in, picked up a girlfriend of mine at her home and we went out shopping!

We started with researching the new fridge I think we want for our new kitchen and then on to clothes shopping. Oh my goodness - there are some ugly things out there and there are also a lot of over priced items - but never mind - we had a fun time.

We went out to dinner at a Thai restaurant and then on to Ross for more shopping. We found many good bargains and I came away with sweaters upon sweaters as well as sweat pants and new fun items for our kitchen. The fridge will be ordered later on.

This morning while reliving our afternoon and evening out - I realized that my friend, Peggy, is someone who gives me the courage to be ME! To be able to laugh out loud without restraint and to be able to dig deep into my inner feelings when needed.

I have a few close friends like my Peggy and I am so grateful to God that He has placed them in my life to walk with me through this sometimes bumpy navigation called LIFE. I am also grateful to God that my dearest cousin is counted among these...

Thank you LORD!

well, why not? You give all of us the courage to be who we are, to ask for forgiveness and then walk with our heads held high. I am glad you had some FUN...
