I'll be there for you, 'cause you're there for me, too...

In life, there's no one richer
than one who has a friend.
The joy is increased many fold,
divided is the pain.

I can't write anymore poetry. The block is too much. No matter how strong my need is to put fingers to keys and churn out the words, I have no concept of how to do justice to the gratitude I feel for being so blessed with my friends.

Sophomore year was ridiculous. The Sharks, as our group of Le Moyne friends likes to call ourselves, took one hit after another, sometimes literally, as in the case of Kate's concussion. We stayed up late watching movies for one reason or another. I remember Leah stayed up with me when they took Kate to the hospital and we watched either The Fox and the Hound or Robin Hood. A skype conversation took a turn for the long and late when Steph and Ellen needed us in the DR. That is only a small amount of it. I could probably write a book about sophomore year. It was us against the world, and we won. I thank God every day for my Sharks, because I wouldn't have made it without them. And for all of my friends. I can only hope I have done right by all of you.

The road, we pave it as we go.
The bumps will teach us well.
Our strength is from the journey,
for each time that we fell,
we rose again, convinced that we
could make it through the ride.
And, yes, we will, because we have
each other at our sides.


Currently reading: Run by Ann Patchett. I will get to Great Expectations soon, it just didn't make for a good workout book.

Listening to: one of my new favorite songs, "All Will Be Well" by the Gabe Dixon Band.
