The wonder of friends

It occurs to me a lot that I have a wonderful group of friends. They call and check on me when I disappear. They give me gifts of their time and love (as well as the more monetary kind). They also give me time to be alone when I need it. They don't expect me to be something I'm not. I am grateful to know that I am not alone and I don't have to do everything on my own. I'm so used to being alone sometimes I forget how wonderful they all are. I hope I can be a good friend in return.
