It is when you are going through something really difficult and have to talk out your feelings over and over that you know the value of your friends. The ones that sit and listen to you, comfort you when you're sad, continue to see you even when you're no fun and cause them awkwardness, offer advice even when its something you don't want to hear and shut up when its something you have to learn for yourself - those are your true friends.I have from the events this year learned that I have chosen very well when it comes to friends. This is my "grateful" for today. I am so very grateful for M, R, Master Poet, Quiz, Ln, Red, Mero, Jaeda, Gar and J.K.
J.K. who has remained my friend despite the cost is someone whose strength I will never find another to compare to.
On a random note, above is a picture of me that I am fond of (in brown shirt), taken recently. Also another picture of me 15 years ago (to the right, in the jacket). It is so very obvious that I am much older than I used to be, but looking at the two pics makes me think I am now someone I like much better.Off to kickboxing soon. Get to hit on things and release frustration, of which I have lots. Oh! two things. I faxed in my background check to volunteer at ABC to tutor GED applicants (yay!), and I found out you can't run the 1/2 marathon with an ipod on. How could they do this to me?

I love that you are getting to know yourself better. I need to find pics of me from 15 years ago. That is quite a difference.
God how fast 15 years passes. Somehow I also think that I'm a better person than I was 15 years ago, and mainly it's due because of the wonderful influence of those that I've had the privilege of calling my friends--J.K.,R,M,morethantehsky, et al. They inspire me to be a better person, and their friendship makes me feel as if I AM a better person than I was 15 years ago.
