Thankful Thursday #1

I'm stealing this from Robyn but I believe it's been around the blogosphere for awhile. Every Thursday I'm going to post about something I am thankful. It may be really meaningful or it may be really shallow - it just depends on what's going on around me at that time.

Today I am thankful for friends that know me better than I even know myself.

Case in point - 10:30 this morning I had hit a wall. Mentally, emotionally and I was starting to feel overwhelmed. I texted a friend asking if we can do an impromptu dinner tonight and she immediately texts back, "what's wrong?" This is how well she knows me - SHE CAN READ MY EMOTIONS THROUGH A TEXT.

We made the plans and the rest of the day improved. I accomplished much more than I thought I would and managed to detangle myself from some situations. All of this lifting a load off my shoulders.

By the time I arrived at dinner, I was a different person from my 10:30 AM self. But she's still there. Meeting me and being my friend. Listening. Asking questions.

After I rehash my day, she says, "I'm proud of you. I knew you could do it."

And sometimes, that's all you really need to hear.

What are you thankful for today?
