I have a few shows coming up where the theme is "Retro-Inter-Active." Im playing the top voted songs of the 70's 80's and 90's as well as a compilation of retro commercials, movie trailers, theme songs, sitcom and cartoon intros. I do this frequently, and Its always a blast! I thought this time Id have all my MySpace friends post lists as comments so everyone can reminisce together...you can add personal memories if we happen to have any...I dont embarrass easily...so dont hold back. (;)) Pick one of these and make your top 10 or, pick one of your own and throw it on the page! Remember...put them as comments, and lets "go back, wayyyyyy back..as we go a little something like this...kick it!"

When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best friend, and then I started to become a woman.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up, God would show you the best in many friends.
One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man. Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities. Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say, "Let's cry together," another, "Let's fight together," another, "Let's walk away together."
One friend will meet your spiritual need, another your shoe obsession, another your love for good books, another will be with you in your season of confusion, another will be your clarifier, another the wind beneath your wings.
But whatever their assignment in your life, on whatever the occasion, on whatever the day, or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back, or to hold you back from making a complete fool o f yourself .. those are your best friends.
It may all be wrapped up in one woman, but for many, it's wrapped up in several.. one from 7th grade, one from high school, several from the college years, a couple from old jobs, on some days your mother, on some days your neighbor, on others, your sisters, and on some days, your daughters.
So whether they've been your friend for 20 minutes or 20 years, AND ONLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO, pass this on to the women that God has placed in your life to make a difference
