I think everyone who knows me would agree that could easily say Heath...Lord knows I've been there before...lol

Choose a good reputation over great riches, for being held in high esteem is better than having silver or gold.
Proverbs 22:1

Lemme add something to this that Sam didn't mention...value a good reputation among your friends. Take care of them, and NEVER forget to let them know how much you care. Money can come and go, but good friends, TRUE friends, should never be put aside like an old rag. I want to tell you thanks again, Sam. You have been there for me through a lot of things, and even though I have been pretty wrong to you over the years, I am glad that you have stuck around. Shauna never felt right, even as a friend. Even now, I can't explain why I stayed with her so long, but now I am ready to move on and start fresh. You have always been willing to help me out of the gutters whenever I put myself there, and you have helped me through numerous stressful situations simply by talking to me. You don't know how much I miss those old 2 AM chats we had for a few months...I think it helped us both get stuff off our chests, and I think that is why my life seems more stressful these days...I don't have all the time in the world to talk to you about how things are REALLY going in my life, as opposed to the "I guess things are ok" answer I usually respond with. You hold a special place inside me, and I am glad things seem to be looking up for you as well in trying to find a place, job security and the Test. I love you lots hon. Enough of that though...Sam will write in and tell me to shut up, and that I'm special too:) Honestly, take care of those few friends who always take care of you. Later
