I moved to Alabama from Las Vegas almost five year ago, and honestly, in that time, I have not found as good of friends here as I have since I joined Heart of Dixie. With the children and the mavens I feel like I finally have people who understand me, support me, and love me despite my quirks. I'd gladly share a small bathroom with any of you at a conference. <BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope you survive the hordes, LJ.<BR/><BR/>SPAndrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1132779703712936442005-11-23T15:01:00.000-06:002005-11-23T15:01:00.000-06:00Okay, that should have been PM - sorry!InstigatorOkay, that should have been PM - sorry!<BR/>InstigatorKira Sinclair - AKA Instigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274056066229852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1132774858279172232005-11-23T13:40:00.000-06:002005-11-23T13:40:00.000-06:00Well, I've spent the past few days feeling really ...Well, I've spent the past few days feeling really overwhelmed by the many things going on in my life and frustrated because I can't seem to find and adhere to all the d*#m rules for my Golden Heart entry. Then I realized I hadn't checked out the blog today.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Marilyn, for putting things in perspective. I'm certainly grateful for others who understand what I'm trying to do, despite not being paid or validated much. For those who understand that being a writer is what I am. I couldn't quit if I wanted to. <BR/><BR/>AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1132761788411950172005-11-23T10:03:00.000-06:002005-11-23T10:03:00.000-06:00I love you too Marilyn!

Take your pick. Friends are sisters of the heart. They’re the ones who know you, love you, and stand by you whether you’re right or wrong. A true friend brings positive energy into your life. Friends make you laugh, and when you cry, they cry with you and comfort you. To find one or two genuine friends who are also writers is a blessing beyond compare. Over the years, there have been times when I’m not sure I’d have made it without my best buddies, Linda and LJ. They’ve been there for me to celebrate the good times and to console me in the bad times. I know that no matter what, I can count on them. --BBMaven Beverly Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979187575817283965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1132727549164493882005-11-23T00:32:00.000-06:002005-11-23T00:32:00.000-06:00You can pronounce it any way you like because your...You can pronounce it any way you like because your post made me all teary-eyed. <BR/><BR/>I (heart) all my playfriends...and I'm thankful to have y'all around.<BR/><BR/>Beautiful post, PM.<BR/><BR/>PCProblem Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456049865200737618noreply@blogger.com
