Friends.

[readingredhead]

Wow. So I was reading through entries on my Friends page and realizing that I haven't really kept very good contact with the lot of you this month. I have so many things on my mind...but that's no excuse for not paying attention to friends. I feel like I don't even know what's going on with some of you, and that's not the way it should be. So, I'm sorry. The end of November rapidly approaches -- then, I promise you, I'll return to somewhere near my normal sanity level again.

It really hasn't hit me yet that today's Thanksgiving. But it just did, as I sat here and realized that all my friends put up with so much from me, at varying times. And I'm so thankful for all of you.

If it weren't for the fact that I'm something like 2,000 words behind on my novel at the moment, I'd write out a list of all of my friends and tell you exactly why I'm thankful for you. As it is...someone remind me and I'll do it later, once November's done. Until then...thank you all for your amazing support and encouragement. I swear, you're what keeps me going.

Wow,I just realized that I've been the same way recently and feel the same way as you do about friends putting up with me. So instead of making a separate entry, I shall simply add on to your's and say that I, too, am thankful for my friends.

*sigh* I think we're all in the same boat here.

A lot has happened this year and there have been times when I feel I have closed myself off from everyone and simply drowned in my own pool of pity rather than looking around and attempting to comfort others who willingly stretch out their arms to me.

Sometimes you never realize how thankful you are until you are given a chance to simply reflect. There is, however, one thing you know is not true. Friends do not put up with friends, they embrace them.

We are all thankful for each other and you know you will always have our support and admiration even when the light appears to have gone out.

Ya know, we don't need Thanksgiving to tell us we have every right to be thankful for one another. As it is, however, I'm so blessed to have you here. Never feel like any of your friends have to put up with you, because we're glad to have you in our lives. Good luck finishing NaNo, because I can't. I mean, in a normal month, sure, but in psycho "I just got a job" month? Not so much.
