Is this a funny thing to say? hehehe

I think of the people that make up my inner circle from Steemit.  Some I talk to everyday - some every week... some even less, but they have impacted me significantly! 

I think my friends are absolutely the richest people in the world.  Maybe not in the way that you think of riches?.... but to me, in the most important ways. They're incredibly rich in:

• creative tinkering hehehe (I think of @creatr - so much love for you. goes beyond the beyond), 
• kindness ( I think of @saffisara, thankful that our paths finally crossed in April - we needed each other!),
• unending support, (I think of @bluefinstudios - all i can say is "How???" lol, maybe i can say more too - but i won't. haha),
• loyalty (I think of @monchhichi23, my sweet strong feisty funny bee! "uh ohhhhh" lol ),
• an ear that never tires of listening (I think of @andysantics48, love you more than you will ever know, Andygirl), 
• zest for life (I think of @calumam- my hinny, my boy, my kindred,  my 17 minute hug),
• overwhelming talent (I think of @eveningart, how did we become so fortunate to gain you?)
• community (I think of @enginewitty, the only MVP hehe. so special to me from the start), 
• unwavering faith (I think of @quirky.countess. you know exactly why - always!),
• measured balance (I think of @shadowspub, my mentor and more),
• wisdom (I think of @kchitrah - my dear. we go beyond words. truly),
• spreading joy and laughter (I think of @bengy & @c0ff33a - we can have adult conversations, but why? kid conversations are WAY more fun),
• humility (I think of @penderis - my M&M... just accept. please!  accept and bask in it!!! hehehe),
• true health (I think of @tamala. never stop, lady - you will ignite us all one day),
• love that spills over (I think of @maquemali - the world needs more people like you),
• discernment (I think of @anutu. are we new or old?? timeless!),
• determination (I think of @sarcastic.taco - yes, you - you are determined, sweet girl!),
• vision (I think of @freedomtowrite, that brain is always spinning!  I love it!), 
• sacrifice (I think of @surpassinggoogle. our boy Terry - to the whole world, you sacrifice nonstop),
• peaceful serenity (I think of @ydraz - miss you Drazzy! your sweet words always calm my heart),
• gentle leadership (I think of @ethandsmith - in front or behind the scenes, you're so steady!),
• inspiration (I think of @awakentolife. such a generous heart with EVERYTHING you have),
• drive to educate (I think of @zen-art! what a passionate, extraordinary teacher you are), 
• diligence (I think of @silversaver888 - you execute your plans with excellence, my dear!)
• compassionate bravery (I think of @snook - you always think of everyone and you're bold beyond comparison! hehe)
• integration (I think of @artemisnorth - I love how you weave people, art, friendship and beauty with skill!)
• perseverance (I think of @jenniferbailey - we've watched you persevere quietly with little complaint - so admirable!)
• hard laughter! (I think of @mimismartypants - every post, every comment, every interaction - please don't stop! LOL)

There are many more people who have popped in and popped out of my life.  Just because I didn't mention your name doesn't mean that you weren't appreciated.  You were, just more quietly!  :)

This may seem weird to bring this up now.. but I think it's completely appropriate! I love to support my friends in lots of ways - but most recently, I've been able to pick up a new journal!  I love journals - but this one is super special because its the original work of @eveningart. Isn't the unicorn so fun and colorful @saffisara???  :)    I love that @jenniferbailey showed her how to do this (she did some beautiful work herself here!  and yes indeed - I just purchased the beach journal from Jen!)
