Friends

Yesterday, I was blessed. I was sitting next to a friend of mine who I have deep respect and love for. The type of friend who simply makes my heart smile. So encouraging and kind and always so fun to be around. And last night, out of the blue, this friend turned to me and said, "You know, Beej, I would venture to say that you are one of my most favorite people."

I can't tell you how much that meant to me or how big it made me smile. Such a simple statement, yet so encouraging. So, thank you friend. You made my night. Thanks for knowing who I am and what I deserve. And thanks for not letting me be complacent. Your lifestyle and your passion challenges me. Truly, you are one of my favorites as well. :)

And since we're talking about Favorites, Ali is apparently upset that I haven't dedicated a whole blog entry to her. So... Here you go, Al. A haiku just for you. And some photos. Just to show everyone how beautiful you are. :)

My Little Rae - A Haiku

Stealing hearts with smiles,
She laughs twice at funny things.
Simply, beautiful.
