Yes, it's your birthday, but I wanted to thank YOU for the gift of your friendship. Never have I met someone so completely decent, kind and caring. The love that you bestow on your family and friends is unequaled.

Thank you for loving me, supporting me, taking up for me and fighting for me. My wonderful life would indeed lose some of its luster were you not in it!

Although you know I'm never at a loss for words, I thought this poem says it better than even I could!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday, my friend, and I'm so happy to be able to share it with you!

Love you,

Tia

My Special Friend by Joe Leblanc
Your cheerful smile
Your caressing hand
It's the really simple things
That make your life look so grand
You're a special woman
It's in your eyes
I see the truth
There is no disguise

It's your spirit
Maybe your soul
But my life without you
Would feel painfully old

You've been a true friend
I hope you stay
I would be so very empty
If you ever went away

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!

Tia- I am the speechless one - but you always do seem to come up with the right words.

All I can really say is Ditto and I am honored to be one of your friends

Thru you I have met other friends who mean the world to me. My life would
be empty without all of you.
