Dancing on the...couch?

Have you ever just felt the need to break loose and do something crazy? And by crazy, I don't mean not putting the cap on your tube of toothpaste or drinking milk right out of the carton.  I mean, crazy, as in something you've never done before or something that requires you to step outside of your comfort zone and experience new things.  So I ask, have you done something crazy this week?

I had my crazy moment last night.  My girlfriends and I let out hair down, grabbed our microphones (which just happened to be remote controls for the TV), cranked up the music, and danced on the couch.  I probably will remember this moment for a long time.  Not just because of how goofy we looked or because of how AMAZING we sounded (emphasis and slight exaggeration added for dramatic effect), but because of how it felt to be with friends who know me and love me anyways.  We have had our ups; we've definitely had our downs, but it's these things that have made our friendships what they are today.  And I do not want to take a single moment I spend with them for granted.

Life is short and none of us are guaranteed tomorrow, so we need to be thankful today for what we have.  If we have people in our lives who love and accept us for who we are, we had best hold on tight and thank God everyday for His precious gift of friendship.

Life is an ever-changing process and God beings people into our lives to teach us things and to help us along life's path.  Just as a wind across the ocean can alter the path of a ship, so can one relationship, no matter how seemingly insignificant it may be, change our lives forever!

So...go ahead, do something crazy, dance on the couch, and thank God for the crazy people jumping around with you!
