Time for everything

This has been a long summer. This has been a summer of changes, surprises, disappointments, heartache and pain. Not just for me, but for other people in my life. I think that everything happens for a reason, and at the time of certain incidents - you may not know the reason, but later on, the reason may be crystal clear. I've personally become more prayerful(if that's a word). I find myself praying for people that I don't know, people that I do know, people who aren't sick or hurting, and even those that are. I often pray for my family, my children and my friends. I think I'm really lucky...I have the greatest group of friends in the entire world. I've got people that I can call on in the middle of the night and cry to...they don't even have to know what I'm crying about, they just listen. They are always there for me, but at times, I feel really selfish. Sometimes, I feel like i'm not there for my friends like they need me to be. Sometimes, I don't deal with emotions well, and that there are times that my friends need me to be strong for them, and I can't. I care so much about my friends and the situations that they are in - it feels like it affects me, too.

As I approach my birthday weekend, I can't wait to spend it wih my friends. I love my birthday, I love all birthdays, really. I have always loved birthdays beacuse that's your special day, a day that's just yours. This is the day that you came into this world - and everyone should feel like royalty on their birthday.

This being said - Happy Birthday to all of my friends, whether you've already had it this year(Theresa, Jen, Bryon, Mark, Susan, Reggie, Khayree, Harry, Drew, and Tory) and to those who haven't had them this year (Paige and Third).

I love you all!!!
