My girlfriend turns 40 today. Happy Birthday LaVern! We took her out last night for dinner and conversation. It was so much fun.

I don't do friends very well. I'm comfortable in solitude and while I enjoy people, I am easily exhausted if I'm with people for too long. Now, that said, I had a great evening. Six girlfriends laughing, crying and talking. There is something very wonderful in that. I don't do it enough.

So today, I am thankful for the wonderful friends that God has gifted me with. Friends that have stuck with me even though I am not so good at that friendship thang.

Thanks to the gals and thanks to You Lord.
