Ode to my Friends

Okay so it is the fall season again, which is my favorite time of year besides spring, and we attended a really fun party at the Taylor's home and we have decorated. I am so grateful to have amazing friends in my ward! I finally feel that I can be myself which at times might be a little much for some people but nonetheless I am grateful for what the Lord has given me and for the lasting friendships I have made throughout my adult life. I have realized the older I get the harder it is to break into my circle of protection but I will say that this ward has made it easier for me to let my guard down. For years I had a HUGE wall fortified with bricks and mortar no one could break through. I have been a product of unending love by people I would have never associated with in the past and I am thankful for the compassion and teaching experiences I have learned by allowing the Lord to mold me and refine me with relationships in my life. I know there are people who will not like me and I am totally okay with that, as long as they don't try and call me out in front of people then it's on and they will pay! I have such quality friends that it doesn't matter If someone doesn't like me or not because I don't need that kind of negativity in my life anyway! So thanks to all my Kick butt friends out there...I love you all!
