Positive Living: Our friends define us…

I think the friendships I hold near and dear to my heart help to define me. I have heard it said that we are the average of the 5 friends we spend the most time with.  I really thought about that…

I love the 5 friends that I spend the most time with and am proud to be the average of them…img_04145

Friendships are like tapestries… woven of individual strands of texture and color, they show us the quality of our self esteem and self confidence.  Friends should bring out the best in us and we should help them glow as well…

The picture was taken at my 50th birthday party last year… these are some of my closest women friends… smart, confident and fun women (that’s me with my smart, confident and fun horse nibbling my hat:)) … I am honored to be their friend…

  • Have you ever asked your friends how they would describe you?
  • Are you aware of the roles each of you play in the relationship?
  • What do you bring to the table?

    I am proud to announce that I am now living in PG with a job. I now work, starting today at 8:30 AM, ohh Thank God for all the great things I have been able to acomplish. I am a project assistant for a Sara Johnson at the Carrier Sekkani Family Services. I am living with my brother and I am still clean and sober. MY old man is living at home in Takla and this is only a job untill August 26th, 2009 although I know we will miss each other, I know we love eachother enough to trust and be there for each other to make it through.

    MY best friend and I am pretty cool together and we are alot alike and very differant too, We try to be there for each other and I think that’s what a friend needs to do
