circle of girls...

Happy Wednesday...  Just a quick update and then I want to share an email with you that a very special lady, Lavon, sent to me.  It is the best email I've received in a very long time....  so so true!!!

Quick Update:  Diet is going well - workout has taken a tumble.  Due to work responsibilities, I've had to cancel my Tues and Thur night sessions with Stephanie.  Those who are close to me know this is a disaster as she is my rock and I do so much better with her!!!  I have been in the gym; but it isn't the same.  Stephanie and I are going to get together and see if we can arrange our schedules so that I don't lose this time with her.  Whatever the outcome - I will NOT stop this journey and will continue to be in the gym - just will not be seeing the same success (I know that!!!!)  ~~~Pray for this schedule conflict -- I NEED to be in the gym with Steph!!!

Other than the above news, it has been a quiet week so far -- we were unable to go to church tonight as my little guy was sick and running fever.  We are hoping TLC and a little medicine is going to do the trick and he will be all better in the morning.   I hate missing mid-week service!  It was nice to cuddle with Lolo and just be home!  

**Another very exciting event this week -- I FINALLY gave in and bought an iphone!!!  Yea me -- This involved talking Todd into changing service from Verizon to AT&T.  THANK YOU TODD!  :)

I will close with the email mentioned above. Great email -- I have so many awesome girls in my circle and I love you all!!!

GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE

When I was little,

I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,

And then I started to become a woman.

And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,

God would show you the best in many friends.

One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.

Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.

Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities.

Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be..

One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,'

Another , 'Let's fight together,'

Another , 'Let's walk away together.'

One friend will meet your spiritual need,

Another your shoe fetish,

Another your love for movies,

Another will be with you in your season of confusion,

Another will be your clarifier,

Another the wind beneath your wings.

But whatever their assignment in your life,

On whatever the occasion,

On whatever the day,

Or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,

Or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself .

Those are your best friends.

It may all be wrapped up in one woman, But for many, it's wrapped up in several..

One from 7th grade,

One from high school,

Several from the college years,

A couple from old jobs,

On some days your mother,

On some days your neighbor,

On others, your sisters,

And on some days, your daughters.
