Good Thursday morning everyone!  Time to rise and shine.  Its going to be a wonderful day.  I slept good and I hope you did too.  Nothing like a good nights sleep.

Our challenge today is to be a friend.  I'm not trying to do Jackie's quote, but I couldn't pass this one up.  "The only way to have a friend is to be one." Ralph Waldo Emerson said.  If we expect to have friends in this life, we have to be one first.  I want to be a friend to everyone.  Not everyone will let you, but you can try your hardest.  There is nothing like having a friend, but there is nothing like BEING a friend!  I challenge you today to be a friend to someone.  See what happens in return.  Don't complain if you don't have a friend, maybe it is you that needs checking? 

So, who's up this morning?  What cha sipping on?  Me?  I'm enjoying some awesome Dunkin Donuts and it is WONDERFUL. 

Hope you have a fantastic FRIENDLY Thursday!

I can't believe this was your topic today.
I am up early and headed to support a friend, her son is having tests run at the hospital today.  He is 20 years old and has been sick with a rare form of epilepsy (having seizures almost daily) since he was 2.  Tests today will help to determine if he will have brain surgery to remove a lobe of his brain.  Her husband cannot be with her so I volunteered.  We have been friends since high school and have been there for each other all along the way.  I don't know what I'd do without my friends.  One thing to remember....letting someone do something for you, helping you, is also helping them and they feel better too.

Have a great day!!

Bless your heart, Sandy...  I'm sure she's absolutely relieved to know you'll be there with her.  I can't imagine...
