Isolation

I just read an article in Christianity Today that discussed the findings of a sociological study that said that Americans are more isolated than ever, and something like 25 % of Americans feel they have no one to share their personal problems with. This was alarming to me. The number of our close friends is declining as well, with the average being two close friends. So in light of this new study, today I am thankful for the relationships in my life. I have a husband that I can confide in, a sister who knows my past and will listen to my deepest fears, and two great girlfriends who I dream with and discuss life with and giggle with. I have 4 people whom I can share anything with, and for those blessings, I am extremely thankful.
