“
What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies.”
- Aristotle
The first Sunday of August is Friendship Day! I must say that not a day goes by where I don’t feel the love and deep gratitude for my friends! I can say that my life is rich and full because of them. I know first hand that great friends help ease the pain of life’s many bumps and bruises and all of the celebrations are made much merrier with my friends. I have intimate conversations with my friends and they are the first to support me in all that I do and call me out when I am being especially hard on myself or even when I get a little crazy. If it is true that your biggest estate is your friendships then I am by far the richest woman on the planet! To my dear friends I love you and I appreciate you and today and all days I celebrate you! Cheers!
