that's what friends (and a wife) are for

even though i still feel somewhat tired (see here), i'm also beginning to feel energized. i think i'm feeling energized because a couple days ago i had the opportunity to connect and reunite with old friends. as i've started to feel better i've been able to attribute my healing to my friends. you know, the people who love us no matter what. the people who get excited about things we're excited about. the people who care, really care, how we're doing. the people who've seen the best and the worst of us.

i'm thankful to have such people in my life. i really don't think much of living would be worth it if we weren't surrounded by people who love us. but my journey to recuperating won't be complete until tomorrow evening.

my hope is that this tired funk will be beaten down completely when my wife arrives back in town. she's been visiting her grandparents (her grandpa is dying of cancer) for the last few days and i think we both need each other right now.

if you're looking for something to take from this post (don't look too hard), take this: get some friends who love you and a spouse you can't live without. then thank God every single day...
