I have several friends who suffer long term with illnesses and know the personal struggles and family dynamics that those struggles entail...lots of emotional ups and downs. We are in such need of good friends and truly care for us and hold us up and give us a kick in the pants when we need it...I am finding blogging to be a wonderful place to increase a community of friends. I will just say that Deb's sons are also getting a fresh look at mom and appreciating what I wrote too - that has been a fun response too. Thank you for your comments and sharing your good friends and laughter guides with me Jeanne,

It sounds like you are lucky to have such a wonderful friend as Deb **AND** she is lucky to have you! This post is evidence of how much you value her! It sounds like a 2-way street to me!! With my numerous illnesses, my energy level is very poor. I used to have much more energy but my body has changed. It is wonderful that Deb has such energy and she sounds very happy and fulfilled. :) Who is the most organized person you know? My friend Alicia and my sister Joan is a close second... Who makes you laugh out loud? My friend Roberta... who has many chronic illnesses like me but keeps her sense of humor & positive attitude! When do you feel most beautiful? When my hair is clean and I've had a really good haircut. (My fine hair is hard to cut and "shows the lines". So a good cut really makes me happy. I don't ever wear makeup so my hair is the thing I'm picky about appearance-wise. Then, of course there is inner beauty but that could be lengthy so I'll stick to my hair comment... :) Who is your most awesome friend? My husband of 10 years... even though we've certainly had our ups and downs (not helped by catastrophic medical bills that have crippled my family's finances)!!!! He is a great man. :) Jeanne <abbr><em><abbr><em>Jeannes last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JeannesEndoBlog/~3/480901179/multiple-chemical-sensitivity-how-you.html" rel="nofollow">Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: How You Can Help Patients With This Often Debilitating Condition!!

Her daughter and my Kelly were about 6 months old when we met at Gymboree. That woman has never known a pair of mismatched socks on her life, I swear. But she's not OCD, it's just her happy way. My darling daughter makes me laugh out loud each day. And on my blog an avid commenter, Glenn invariably makes me laugh. I feel my most beautiful when my hair is freshly washed, blown dry with just a hint of curling iron on the ends to tame it down. Pop mascara on me and there is nothing I cannot do. My most awesome friend is my hubby! Followed by Kalyani. Fun topic, thanks. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Jannies last blog post..<a href="http://www.janniefunster.com/?p=2817" rel="nofollow">Austin Rain of Terror</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> The most organized person I know is my pal, Suzie Dodge.

Three cheers for Gregory, Martha and those glorious moments of weight loss.....
