National Friendship Day.

Usually I'm not one to observe these daily holidays. I mean, normally they're pretty ridiculous. Hug Your Pet Day, Doughnut Day...most of them just seem like excuses to buy something and then post it on Instagram with the hashtag.

But National Best Friend Day? I am all about that. :)

I posted a picture earlier of my very best friend Morgan, because she's pretty much in her own class. :D But I'll post one again because, hey, I love her.

However, I am very thankful to say that I have many friends that would fall under a similar, yet different category. For me, someone who is a best friend makes that friendship a priority. Even when you don't live in the same area, even when you're no longer involved in each other's lives...you still make a conscious effort to stay connected, to stay up to date on things.

So this is a special shout out to those people who have made me feel that my friendship matters to them, even though we may not see each other very often or talk very regularly.

I realize the official name is National Best Friend Day, but I think National Friendship Day would be more appropriate. ;)

This post isn't going to be long or profound. It's simply my way of saying "Hey, I love you, I think you're swell, and thank you for being such a wonderful presence in my life."

And, of course, I'm not saying it in words. Just pictures. Love you all. :)
