Awww, I love these ladies!  This morning during my writing I began to write about the people we choose to surround us.  I have been very, very fortunate in having many wonderful groups of women who not only become my friends, but also my sisters.  As I have examined my choice of friendships throughout the years I have to say that I have managed to always have a great support system around me.  The ladies in the picture with me are friends that I have known less than 3 years, but I count them as my sisters.  A great writing exercise is to write about your friends from childhood through the present time.  I have had many wonderful friendships and the older I get the deeper and more precious my friends are to me.  Surround yourself with beautiful friends.  To all the friends in my life, let me tell you I appreciate and honor each one of you.  Thank you for being such an integral part in my growth as a woman.
