Friends

Everyone needs friends. What is it that they say? "No man is an island"? No woman is either, especially not this one.

2005 has been a hard year for me - buying the house was incredibly stressful and that stress hasn't abated much in the 8 months since I've become a homeowner. The year has been filled with a lot of growing pains, but I think I will come out of it on Jan. 1 a stronger, wiser person, and I suppose that's the point.

But I wouldn't have survived any of it without the women who surround me. I could never do them justice, not in words and not in deeds, and I'm not sure one photo would even hold all of them. I may not know anything about how to be in a romantic relationship, but I have been blessed beyond measure in friendship.

For now, and perhaps for the rest of my life, they are enough.
