I just finished talking with my mom for over an hour about random nothingness. We talked about my family, and she listened to me ramble on about my friends. And I am just thinking how lucky I am to have the people that I have in my life.

I just wrote an entire post about how many great friends I have, but I erased it because I think I missed the mark somewhere. I do currently have more people I can depend on in my life than ever before, but numbers is not the point. It’s the people that are the point. And the people are really special, and way more than I deserve, and I just feel really lucky. And that’s not even counting my ever-present unconditionally loving family, immediate and extended.  

This is kind of a cheesy post, but I’m really happy, so I’m going to hit ‘publish’ anyway.

One of my most favorite things is when my friends send me text messages for no other reason than to say they were thinking about me. I recieved two of those today, and so it was an especially good day. :)

Two of the friends I saw Rent with for the first time, unbeknownst to each other, were at the same performance of Rent tonight. They each separately, but within ten minutes of each other, sent me a text message to say they were thinking of me. I assumed they were together, but they didn’t run into each other until after the performace. It was karma in action. It made me very happy. I’m reminded of how wonderful my friends are, despite how little time we get to spend together.

You might think you have the best sister ever, but you’d be wrong. That would be me. :)
