30 Days of Gratitude - Day Nine

A Good Friend

Wow, this one is a toughie. Several people come to mind and I can't narrow it down to just one person.  Through recent events I came to discover just what great friends I do have.  I've also found out what it's like to find out someone isn't as good of a friend as they seemed to be, a wolf in friend's clothing seems an appropriate description.

I am lucky to have people in my life to remind me that I am better than a person who constantly talks about you and others behind your back in an effort to make them feel better about them.  Finding out someone isn't the "bestie" that you thought they were can be a crushing experience. I know I felt like an asshat for thinking this girl was my friend when she never truly was.  Though I could have fired off an nasty missive back at this person attacking her for her lack of character, loyalty, and clear breach of trust, I decided against it, mainly after having my friends talk me down from it. 

When my friends make me laugh, cry, smile, or all three if I'm laughing hard enough, I am glad they decided to trust me enough to let me into their life.
