Friends

One of my very favorite shows is Wicked. I have seen it several times and the soundtrack is almost worn out from listening to it so many times. It is an incredible story of friendship and how the choices that we make impact our lives. All of the songs on the soundtrack are fantastic but For Good is particularly wonderful. It is difficult for me to listen to it without tears coming to my eyes. I am doing better... at least I don't cry hysterically anymore when I listen to it like I did the first time I saw Wicked or the first 50 times I listened to the soundtrack. Friends are so important. The older I get the more I recognize the significance of friends in my life.
In Wicked, Glinda sings
"I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you..."

My friends have made an impact in my life in so many ways. God richly blessed me with so many wonderful friends and I am who I am today because I knew each of them. Thank you all for the love that you have given to me. I know I'm who I am today because I knew you.
