~~Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and the thinkers; but most of all surround yourself with those who see greatness in you even when you don't see it yourself.~~  Unknown

 

What a lovely way to say surround yourself with positive people!  Because you should....everyone should.  Everyone should have those friends who support them, encourage them, and cheer for them.  The friends who will fight along side of them, celebrate with them, and who think the world of them.

Why?  I think because humans need that human connection.....that sweet faith in another....that knowledge that they aren't alone. 

I know some people who don't have anyone.  They don't think they need anyone.  That's fine, too.  I would never presume to judge or to discount.  But I think, deep down, people do better and feel better having a friend.

I have 490 days of no smoking behind me....and many, many more non-smoking days ahead of me.  My friends were such a huge part of my quitting success.  My friends are such a huge part of my life!  When I doubted myself, they were there.  When I faltered, they held me up.  When I was discouraged, they encouraged.  Not because they had to but because they are good people who care 🙂 

I am who I am because of friends like Bee Jay, Rick, Tommy, and so many more here and in my 3-D world.  I laugh more, love more, and am a better person because of them. 

May you find friends who make you feel loved.  May you be that friend who loves.  Thank you all so much for being such a miracle in my life.  I'm blessed.

Believe in yourselves today and know that something in you is greater than ANY obstacle!!
