I had a tough time coming up with something to be thankful for today...er...at this point, yesterday.
Plainly put...I had a crappy day. A sorry for myself, mopey, Eeyore kinda day...and I wasn't exactly all sunshine and roses.
All that glitters isn't gold...and all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade.
Stupid boys...I'm joining a nunnery. Seriously. I hear Asissi Heights has a good view...
Ok...enough complaining.
On this 5th day of February...I am thankful for forgiveness. I was a bad friend. I wasn't congratulatory when I should have been, and I put my own selfish interests before someone who has been nothing but kind to me. Brad, I shouldn't have reacted that way. I shouldn't have said what I did...I shouldn't have let my own bad day sour your happy moment. I should have been a good friend. I should have congratulated you. I should have jumped for joy. I didn't. And for that, I'm sorry. I should have told you immediately that I was sorry. I should have apologized once I knew I crossed the line, but I didn't. Stupid pride. Stupid stubborn tendencies.
What I loved is that I hugged you today and all was lost. Everything melted to the wayside...I told you I was sorry, you knew I was sorry...and we had a friendship that could not only withstand a tidal wave, but that I honestly believe came out stronger because of it.

And I'm thankful for that :)
