~Wednesday Again~

Today I am not sure what to write about but since I am an educator I know what I must tell myself.  What I would say to my students is that they should just simply start...write anything that comes to mind.  Anything is better than nothing and usually leads to more thoughts.  As I write, my thoughts swirl about much faster than I can get them down on paper.  See- half a paragraph already!  This marks a week since I began my blog, which is why I named it as I did.  Wednesdays are busy for me.  I have a very active afternoon group each Wednesday and today I have an equally busy morning group.  My friend Danielle has dropped by and is quietly attending to her College schoolwork downstairs while I am writing.  She has made me feel so happy by coming by today.  Having a true friend means the world to me and she is my Best Friend.

Maybe I should write about that.  Having a Best Friend.  It is something I have been trying to have my whole life but have never made the connection before with my past friends.  In each instance I would have a best friend for a period of time and then we would drift apart.  I do not retain freindships from my childhood and mostly because in my youth, my family was unstable and we moved a lot.  In one instance I can recall a friend I adored but she was a pathalogical liar and it just became too hard.  She never lied to me about things that would hurt me- NO- she was very very loyal.  I still miss her.  But she is the only one I can say I miss terribly.  We were children together, girls.  We discovered boys together.  She knew me when I lost my virginity , and I her. 

But at present I will say that I have truly found a soul mate in Danielle.  We never bicker.  We support one another and we do speak honestly even if the other person may not like hearing what we are saying...the important thing is that we say it out of love and she and I always speak to each other with gentleness and respect at all times.  I love her demeanor.  She is unselfish with me.  She shares her life, her feelings and her experiences with me.  When I go anywhere and I think of who I would like to hang out with while I am there, it is always her 100% of the time.  Whether it is going to the clubs, dining, travelling or a party,babysitting or to the movies.  Danielle is the one I want with me.

My Kids love her too.  She is their Danielly and they always want her to babysit or hangout or even sleepover!  She gives them the greatest gifts!  In fact, she gives ME the greatest gifts.  I wish I was half as good at it as her because I give lame gifts.  But instead of hating myself for that I shall focus my energy on giving her the type of friendship she deserves- loyalty, loving... and be her biggest fan!  I am good at that.  Nothing she can ever say would change my admiration or love for her.  Sorry Dani!  You are stuck with me for life!
