Gratitude

The all-powerful dictionary know as Google defines "gratitude" as "The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and return kindness".

It's no secret (if you've been on my blog lately) that I'm struggling - both with an injury that's keeping me from running and with unhappiness about the fact that all my clothes appear to have shrunk.  However, I know I have so many friends in my corner and for them I am eternally grateful.  They point out the positives (like spaghetti dinner and Black Bear Ale with friends) or they give me a reality check and say "don't make me -_- at you today".

I know I don't show my appreciation for them as much as I should, but I hope they know how much I love and cherish them.
