I am thankful for my friends. I have been fortunate enough to experience real, lasting friendships over the years, and many of my friendships have remained strong even when we no longer live near each other. There is a part of myself that comes through when I am with my girlfriends that is free and light and authentic. I am grateful that I can be myself with any and all of these women, near and far. I am also thankful for my guy friends. A different dynamic is present, to be sure, but they are also very important to me. Friendship is a gift and I am so thankful to have the privilege to call so many wonderful people my friends.
