Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Friends are those that add to your life...they energize you and keep you sane...I love my friends that encourage me to be better in so many little ways...laughing at our own foibles in a good natured way really makes one feel "normal"...I don't have lots of friends but the ones I have are precious...thanks for a positive post...
