Today's Plinky Question: Who is your best friend? To which I add: Do you have just one or is there a number of them?

My best friend? I don't have just one. I have several. Let's see now...

There is my husband, who is the love of my life and best friend. Most days, he is the best of the best. Love him dearly. He gets me. We work together and live together. For over 26 years, he has been my other half.

Then, there is my oldest and closest friend... the mother of my goddaughter, one of my roommates from college. The person I can tell anything. Michelle understands me in ways no one else does. She knows what I have been through. I know what she has been through. We have been there for each other through good times and bad. Through the joys of watching our children grow up and the pains of letting them go. Through job changes and life changes. We don't see each other nearly often enough.

Always in the list would also be my goddaughter. She reminds me how good things can be. She keeps me in touch with the "younger generation". She makes me smile just to know she is there.

Next would be my mentor: Betsy Weber. She has helped me understand that I have skills that others need. That life goes on, even when bad things happen. She is the one that showed me a social media job was possible, profitable, and workable.

There are others who are good friends. Long term friends. People who used to be best friends, but because of changes in our lives I don't connect with any more. People I couldn't imagine not having been in my life. People like my older sister, who I am very glad is back in my life after a time of disconnection.

All of these together make up my support system. My best friends. The reason I survive and thrive.

Never. Too many of my friends, relations, and clients live there.
