Friendship Is a Gift in Itself

I ran across this quote from the wrapper of a piece of Dove chocolate and delighted in the appropriateness for this time of year. I've listened to adults and children naming off the Christmas and Valentine presents they've received, the many trinkets and splurges, the gifts to exchange (or regift), their favorite item, the monetary cost of their shopping. And somehow it all seems so hollow. I'm thankful this day, especially for the gift of friendship. You can never receive too much of this gift, nor can you exhaust it's supply while giving it. It's a treasure to be kept close to the heart. It's a gift to be shared with others around us. It's definately a gift to be returned and regifted. And best of all, it's priceless: No credit card bills in January!

Thank you to my friends who make life a precious journey. I only hope that I have returned all that I have recieved.
