If you're lucky like me, you find that your friends and family are genuinely happy for you when you find yourself in a mood to celebrate... because what is life without friends, family and meaningful work?

And, I can truly say I am thankful for having had my fair share of great friends, who were there for me in bad times, giving me hope and encouragement, being caring enough to help when the going was tough, and THIS is something one never forgets, something for which one never stops being grateful.

Our writer Maria-21 wrote in our forum, "WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT, PEOPLE OR THINGS?"

Hmmm... much as I might have answered "DEFINITELY THINGS!" at one point in my life because things are certainly less complicated than people are, but learning that I was wrong about this has been possibly the best lesson of my life, because as simple as things can be, it's still not reason enough for things to be "more important" than people, assuming that you have the RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE around you.

The KIND OF PEOPLE who bring out the best in you, THE KIND OF PEOPLE who allow you to be the best person you can be.

They're out there I promise you ~ look for them, and when you find them, you'll understand what I mean...
