The Friend Lottery.

"If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you have one good friend, you're more than lucky." 

S.E. Hinton

If I were to go by the quote, well, I guess I have hit the jackpot with friends.  You see, I don't only have one good friend.  I have many good friends.  Each and every one of them hold a dear place in my heart.  I couldn't imagine my life without them.  If there were a word to describe someone who is more than superbly lucky, well, that would be me.  In the friend department, that is.

This past Saturday my friend and partner in the "Walk for Hunger" event presented me with an early birthday gift.  Yes, my birthday month has started off with a bang.  Actually, it would be more appropriate had there been a burst of confetti when she told me that  my present was in the car.  I mean, does it get any better than that?  Heck no!

However, that is besides the point.  You see, having Miss K in my life is like winning the lottery of friends.  It wasn't just the greatness of receiving an early birthday gift, it was the simple fact that it was personalized.  It is the most thoughtful of all thoughtful presents.  And, I could not be more happy, I could not be more grateful, and I thank my lucky stars for the sweetest of friendships.
