On a day dedicated mostly to the romantic, I would like to offer up a praise of friendship. I am extremely thankful for friendship. Absent friendship, my life would be devoid of much happiness and depleted of fun and excitement. The friendships I enjoy give my life the color and depth that I so need to break up the drab reality that makes up so much of my work-a-day existence. Among the daily, mundane trivialities are interspersed those random and joyful interactions with....friends.
At this time, I am unmarried. I have no spouse from which to derive the daily pleasures of conversation, encouragement, or companionship. I am not in a "romantic" relationship, so I must treasure the true gift of friendship. Even on a day that the world has by and large turned into a celebration of lust (some of the Valentine's cards I've read this year were downright dirty and should have had a warning label!) by focusing solely on what kind of pleasures sensual relations bring, don't lose sight of those good friends who also love and cherish you!
Very true! Good stuff on here, Cori!
