Dear Friend
* I wrote this last year in march for one of my best friends. I have excluded names and personal information but she still means the world to me.*

Dear Friend,
I am trying a new gratitude log of sorts in the month of March. I do this thing called bullet journaling. It's a creative outlet and I love it. I have been trying to be more aware of the things I'm grateful for by listing something every day. For example, sometimes it's a person like my parents. Other days I'm grateful for something worldly, such as various cultures. However, sometimes it's the simple things like the fact that my glasses stayed on my face making me ever so grateful to whoever invented nose pads.
This past month it's been feeling menotenause to write something each day. It's not that I can't think of something to be grateful for. There is so much. It's more the routine of just writing one thing and then moving on with the day. So march, I have decided, is the month of letters to people in my life regardless of if they are a daily face to face or in prayers and thoughts. I've set a goal to write a letter every other day in March. I am finding my passions in life and anologing has always been one. So here goes.
Thank you for your friendship. That is a blanket statement of course. Now, I'll be more specific. Thank you for making my (our) years at ISS fun, as in packed full of laughter. Teachers couldnt seperate us and If there was one then there are two. I'm so grateful that I wasn't the only kid trying to read a fictional novel behind a text book in the back of the classroom. Heeeeee… the time you read the hunger games in math and couldn't stop laughing.
Thank you for all of the sleepovers….. Not sure why but they were always last minute and so unplanned. Your birthday sleepover when we played with glow sticks and stayed up way too late for our own good. How about the time we made ramen over a fire that we set on your tennis court? I think we left a mark. Or the time we played fetch with the dogs in the rain and they slid across the hard court because they couldn't stop. I have always had swimming while stargazing on my bucket list. This experience was so much more magical because I got to do it with you. These are only a few of the honorable mentions. My friend, I am basically thanking you for laughing with me.
I am not a cryer but I am a crazy hair puller. Thank you for suffering through exams and papers with me. Misery loves company and I'm so glad we both hatted half the assignments we were given. I'm glad we could both be mad at authors for killing our beloved characters. We could be mad about how unfair some people could be.
Thank you for being a part of my life. Thank you for changing my life and helping me become who I am today.
Your BFF
Abby
