I've gotta flush!

Tonight I spent some time dwelling on the circles of people I know, and how I pedal around life depending on them for encouragement and reinforcement.

I love that feeling when you hang up the phone and smile to yourself, just knowing that true friends don't judge. Here's a good quick test to tell if you're in a 'no-matter-what' friendship... flushing the toilet when you're on the phone. Some people you know so intimately that that level of stuff just doesn't matter. I'm so blessed to have a big handful of those types of friends! Friends that'll pick me up in my pj's for a trip to the Jack-in-the-Box drivethrough for milkshakes at midnight, that'll stay up with me after my hubby went to bed when my child was ill, friends that know yucky things about me yet love me anyway. One of those friends mopped me up off the floor in my lowest valley of life, no doubt saving my life. One, prayed with me in her kitchen and brought Jesus into my heart. One, motivates me to buy whole-grain bread & fig newtons. When weaved all together in the tapestry of my everyday, they form the canvas on which I am comfortable and thrive. Wait, hold on a second, I've gotta flush... ;)
