So much love

I am so blessed. Often, in the past, I have felt so lonely. Most of my friends are far away, or doing their own things. Often I feel jealous that I am not included. I miss them. Rarely do I speak to them. So many people have come forward and shown me so much support and kindness. Even just a kind word lifts me up. It's amazing what it does for my self esteem. I still wish I was able to go out with girl friends. Just hanging out without kids. It'll eventually happen.  If not with old friends with new. For now, all the words of encouragement are enough. I thank God for blessing me with so many that care. I thank my friends for letting me know I matter.
