True Friendship Has Many Ingredients

True Friendship isn't seen
with the eyes;
it's felt with the heart
when there is trust,
understanding, secrets,
loyalty, and sharing.
Friendship is a feeling
rarely found in life,
but when found
it has a profound impact
on one's well-being
strength, and character.

A true friendship does not need
elaborate gifts
or spectacular events
in order to be valuable or valued.

To ensure long-lasting quality
and satisfaction,
a friendship only needs
certain key ingredients:
undying loyalty,
unmatched understading,
unsurpassed trust,
deep and soulful secrets,
and endless sharing.
These ingredients, mixed with
personality and a sense of humor,
can make a friendship
last a lifetime.

So I sit at work and I've just been feeling negative about it lately...there's really no reason except for
the delays, yet, I'm negative and I hate that I feel that way. I've just been feeling...blah...so I sit
and and think about how terrible things are and how this site sucks which puts me into a really awful mood
(having cramps doesn't help either). But then I really think about it some more, and I realize that it
really isn't that bad...and then I think about all the good things...things that keep me going every
day...and makes me want to get up in the morning...so many good things....

1. God - who provides me with all that I need...and I know that no matter how bad things are, they will
always work out because God is there.

2. Family - so my family can drive me nuts...but they love me...no matter how many mistakes I've made in
the past, they let it go and love me...I realize all the sacrifices my parents made for me and my
siblings, and to be honest, I really don't know how they did it.

3. Ryan -so much to say, and yet, not enough words to describe it all...I don't even know where to
begin...how I can I say all the things I want to say about this wonderful man in a few simple words? We
have what so many people search for all their lives...he accepts me for me, with all my flaws, and yet,
still loves me unconditionally...something that I thought was never possible...I thank God every day for
bringing him into my life

4. My friends - ahh..all my friends...I wonder if you all realize how important you are to me...old and
new...I may not keep in touch with many of my old friends or I may not be friends with many of them
anymore, but they've made me who I am today...and I still treasure what once was with no regrets...a part
of me just feels sad...sad at how things just change....I have this one friend...my best friend when I
went through a lot of rough times....the one friend who knows everything, who I had once turned to when I
had all my issues (boy I sure had a lot of issues)...and what makes me sad is that we don't keep in touch
anymore...not that I don't try, but it certainly doesn't feel the same anymore...I know that we are both
at different places in our lives, but I only wish that I could help her as much as she's helped me, and I
don't know how, and that makes me feel helpless...
now my current friends...I am so blessed to have friends like you...and I want you all to know how
important you are to me and how much I treasure each and every one of you...you really are the greatest!!
I only hope that I can be as good of a friend to you as you are to me.

The more we love, the better we are;
and the greater our friendships are,
the dearer we are to God.

I hate that I am so unmotivated at work. I need a job where I am challenged...and in all honesty, I'm not
feeling that. Is this how work really is? Because I really don't think so. On days like this, I sit and
wonder....is this really my purpose in life? I went in to this field to do something good for the world,
not to deal with budgets and red tape. I JUST WANT TO CLEAN THE EARTH!! Is that too much to ask? I don't
want to have to worry about the costs and deadlines....oh those deadlines, the ones I meet because I am
anal, but apparently, EPA doesn't care about because they just sit on it for months, after I busted my
butt to get it done.

Oh and I hate that I can't fix my comments thing, or even know where to begin...I'm definitely not a
computer whiz!
