I'm grateful for my friends

Although I cannot find the exact quote, I'm quite sure that Elizabeth Wurtzel (who am not particularly fond of) once wrote, "If your life is going to be one long emergency, it's important to have good friends." Now, I wouldn't consider my life to be "one long emergency," but some days just really suck...and sometimes even that's an understatement. At those times, it's helpful to have friends who can cushion the descent, without worrying about what they're going to think or say to others. Thanks. It means a lot.
