Thankful...

I am grateful for my friends and loved ones for many reasons.  Today, as I consider what kind of friend I have been to others, I must express gratitude for those who:

• call me on my BS when I'm acting out of order;
• push / pull me out of my comfort zone when insecurity would keep me in a place of mediocrity;
• envelope me with gentle affection when I am abusing myself in thought, word, and deed;
• create a space of protection in a solution when my focus is on the danger of the problem;
• encourage me to remember who I am and what I can offer when my focus rests on who I am not and all that is missing.

I am prayerful that I can be that type of friend.  One who acts in honesty, trust, and honor rather than fear, insecurity, and lack.
Regardless of my current situation, it is my intent to live and love in this moment in word and in truth.
Ahhh, that felt good....
