I am so grateful for so many things in my life one is friends... I have recently become friends with someone thru Meadow her name is Michelle. I truly never thought that we would be friends.. 1. she is a young mom of 4 girls... 2. she is a school teacher 3. really never thought we had anything in common. I have to say the more I get to know her the more I just plain LOVE her she has a great personality and is so caring and easy to talk to.. She has joined Weight Watchers and we share that journey.. we are doing the small group "Becoming" for girls together, and best of all we just get each other..Yesterday at weigh in it was great she lost over 4lbs and I lost 3lbs you should have heard us we were a bit excited... I know that when Michelle asks if their is anything she can do (like when I was in ER last nite) she really means it. I just feel blessed to have found her and that she considers me her friend.
I am grateful for Heather she is another great friend and so much fun... we went shopping together and she was great.. she is my official personal shopper from now on.. most of all she is Sami's mommy and I LOVE SAMI!!!!!! Sami I think loves me too .....She too is someone that I would have never thought to be a close friend... 1. she is younger 2. she is a young mom 3. she is a very self assured young woman. but we are good friends and I feel so lucky to be her friend. I know I can rely on her for help and support anytime.. as a matter of fact she may be the one that is responsible in getting me a job... we also, share Weight Watchers and that struggle.
Rachel is one of my oldest good friends and we share so much together and we continue to grow in our friendship.. I know that she will always be a great friend... but again when I first met Rae she wasnt a mom but newly married, my boss, very career like woman but after she left Kindercare she made a phone call to me as a friend to tell me she was quitting and as a "friend" she wanted to give me a heads up.. that was the beginning of our friendship... now she is a mom of 3!!!! , pastor of Childrens Ministry and runs a in home daycare... she hired me to work with her , she invited me to Meadow and is the one who is responsible for the friends I have in my life.. Before I started working for her she said... ya know Linda God has you wired to do something and you have to stop and listen to him to find out what that is....I am so grateful for that statement because I did listen and God brought me to all of this and all of these great women in my life....now I am wondering what he has planned for me now...??? I think I know the answer but I am not going to share and see if I am right.... I am just so thankful for all of them.. After writing this I have discovered a common factor in all of these women... they are strong Christian moms..... God has blessed me....

Congrats on the weight loss so far. It's just the start of your journey!
It's good to have great friends that you have to lean on in good and bad times. I don't know what I would do without my friends.
I am so happy to learn of your new friends - This has always been a bit of a thing I wondered over with you being so far away especially during a crisis in your life - here, you were surrounded not only by family but you had a whole league of friends - from grade, high school and neighbors and work - so you know how well a good friend can be! I know I do - in the last 75 years I've accumulated (according to my sons at least 284 Very Best Friends LOL) -
Hope today your feeling a lot better - Mame
