Ten Days of Thanksgiving: Day Four

Well there are seven days left until Christmas so I better finish up these ten posts on Thanksgiving! :)

I'm extremely thankful for my friends.


This year I learned so much more about what it means to (a) be a true friend and (b) have true friends. In life, especially in college, we meet so many people that we quickly click with. We might share the same favorite song, favorite food, or favorite color. It's easy to rush and call these people our 'best friends' without taking time to truly learn more about them and the relationship we share. True friends not only share the same interests and favorites as you do but they also share a genuine interest in your well being. They're present even when your favorite "things" aren't around because the bond of true friendship is worth more than material objects.

I love, love, love my friends! I'm so happy to have matured in this area of my life and to have found genuine friendships!

Jewel's Random TidBits - So many people have considered hosting Friendsgiving but what about also hosting a Friends-Christmas gift exchange? Several of my friends and I have been hosting one in January for the past few years and it's a really great time to spend with your favorite peeps before the year gets hectic!
