Day 9 of Positively Present's #Gratitude30 challenge invites us to feel gratitude for our friendships.

Twice a week, I teach a private yoga class to two ladies who have been friends for many years. It is always so good to see how they support and care for each other.

After my class this Thursday, there were conversations between a husband and wife who are fairly new to class and someone who is not so new. All three attended our Community Potluck last Sunday. "We couldn't talk much before because we didn't know anyone but now we are much more comfortable!"

Today I give thanks for those who come to classes and events and bring their friends with them, for those who make friends at my events by being comfortable to be themselves, for my friends who inspire me and for my mother's friends who set the example of what good friendships could be.

Today, take time to celebrate your friends! Share this post with them so they know you are thinking of them or let me know in the comments what you cherish about your friendships.
