Friendship is very rewarding. I think that there have been times in my life where I didn’t appreciate it as much as I do now. We’ve got such a good group of people surrounding us, and it makes such a difference in my ability to make it through the day. We had friends over for an early dinner tonight with their two kids, and it was so much fun…I was sad that they had to leave. Shelli also did really well; she let the kids pet her and everything…it was awesome!

As much as I feel as though I could live as a hermit, I know that I couldn’t.

It’s funny how we learn things about ourselves constantly.
