Friends are always there for you, in happiness, in sadness and in everyday situations. I know if I am having a terrible day, I can call any one of my truly amazing friends and talk through it. Megan is my voice of reason; she is first person I always call when I need advice on a tough situation. She is also the first person I call when I have exciting news to share. The other day, I called to let her know life was going great and give her the appreciation she deserves for being a loyal and fantastic friend. I love all my friends and I try to remind them how important they are each and every day.

My friends are just as important as my family. Friends are the family I chose, and family is equally there for you when you need them. Although my parents live far away, my sister and her awesome niece are close to me. So close, we try to meet once a week or so to hang out and connect. Family is very important and never something to be taken for granted. If I am having a busier than usual week at work, I try to send my mom a short note to remind her I am always thinking of her. I’ll send a card with her favorite pink lilies on the front, and warm wishes on the inside.

I like to send a card with flowers on it, because sometimes certain flowers are not in season and very hard to find. This way I can send favorites all year around. In the fall, and even winter, surprisingly have some of the best flowers that bloom. Mrs. Bradley introduces me to new species every year. I walked into her backyard recently and saw the warm orange, yellow and red flowers that flooding her garden.

With the fall season already here, we are starting to gear up for the holidays that follow. It’s the perfect time to get in touch with friends and family.
