I have been thinking a lot about friendship lately. I am grateful for all the many friendships and opportunites to meet many different people I have had. I was looking back at how fun it is that at different times and stages in my life, I have had different groups of friends.
I have met friends in all of the different work situations I have had. I have met many friends in my single's ward (especially with all of the times this past year my ward has changed!), as well as meeting friends at the many different actitivties I have been to. I have met friends in my home ward. I have friends that I have had and kept since high school. I have met friends in my college classes. I have met friends through the callings I have served in. I have friends that I have re-connected with that I knew in elementary, middle school, and high school. I have met friends through institute classes. I have met friends through dating.
There are so many everyday situations that I have had, and that hopefully we all have, to make friends, and hopefully keep as lasting friendships. What a blessing it has been for me to have met all these great friends, and that I have more opportunities to meet more people. I have been so blessed by the example of each and every one of these people that I have met at all the various times in my life, and am so grateful for the impact they have had on my life. And even though I don't keep in everyday contact with all of these people, I love that I can talk to any one of them anytime, and feel as though we have never been apart. I think that is what true friendship is!!
So... I cherish the opportunity to have met each one of you. I am grateful for your impact on my life.
Friendship is one of the greatest blessings!
