Joy

I have, over the years gathered a motley array of friends. They are colorful, fun, speak your mind kind of people. All have definite opinions on life and feel free to express themselves in an endless variety of ways. They are artists, they are dreamers, they are mothers and fathers, they are active in their communities, they are the very essence of what a good life is made up of. These souls were, at some point in my life, for whatever peiod of time, the utter joy in my existence. They are the "I will hold you up" kind of friends that do not ever weigh you down. Many are people that I have lost contact with for various reasons through the years. I feel an occasional pang of sadness I missed out on so much fun. I am now however in the middle of complete personal bliss at knowing them again. My friends...you are beautiful.
