Not Just A Phad

So, today I was looking at the facebook pictures of a friend. I won't say who, because I don't want anyone to feel bad that it wasn't them. Anyway...I was going through her pictures and I thought to myself, "Wow...she really is exemplary of beauty." (Yes, that is how I talk in my head.) And I began to wonder why. I have decided that the reason she is so spectacularly gorgeous is because of who she is. She is really a truly remarkable woman. She is Christlike and kind and very hard working. She sticks to a life plan and is moving through it well. And in all this she manages to keep herself physically fit and healthy. Overall, an exemplary human, yes? And I realized that I have many friends who are equally exemplary. Perhaps a few of them aren't as successful, or maybe one is not quite as fit, but I have many friends who are, in all reality, much better people than myself. I have the privilege of being surrounded by the most amazing of people. I have said this before, but I would like to say it again:

Thank you.

Life does not generally bless me with luck. Rather, life has blessed me with an abundance of friends and acquaintances who improve my life quite a bit more than any amount of luck.

Although, I wouldn't mind a little luck either...

  1. My only question is, why are you referring to me as a woman?

  2. I'm not sure you give yourself enough credit, Dan. Why do you think you have such an abundance of friends and acquaintances who improve your life? Because you do the same for them.

    Lol, oh Christian...

  3. I agree with chica above me. A friendship is a mutual relationship. If you are surrounded by stellar people, those people probably consider you to be one of the stellar people surrounding them, too.
