The Thanksgiving holiday is just a week away and I couldn't be more excited. I enjoy the meal, and the time with family spent, even if it is just me, my brother, and my mother at the dinner table. 2015 has surely been a year full of peace, joy, and blessings; it is quite the positive change from the previous year that was filled with illnesses, despair, and difficult circumstances. I found it difficult to put into words how much I am thankful for, because so much has changed in just a year, but I wanted to get in the holiday spirit this week and share the things that I am most grateful for.  First and foremost, I am most grateful for my relationship with Christ.

Today, I am here ...

Friendship is something in life that is both a necessity and a privilege; it can be both given and taken away in a heartbeat. Throughout my life, I have learned that just like with anything else we do on a daily basis, friendship has rules; there is a method to the madness when it comes to being a true blue friend, and today I'd like to share that method based off of my own experiences.  Number One: Honesty. The single most important aspect of a friendship; the very foundation upon which any relationship is built. Be honest and open to old friends and new, because it can go a long way with the people you meet; it helps to build trust, loyalty, love, closeness, and respect. Dishonesty can single-handedly destroy a friendship, and crumple trust beyond repair. It is always important to remember while some are gracious enough to forgive and others don't, words can never be taken back or forgotten. Be careful and think before you speak.   Number Two: Overcome Personal F...
