It’s 7:30am and I’ve already interacted with 4 good friends – grateful for my friendships! via /r/gratitude

Divorce has been a slog, and I feared the worst: financial ruin and social isolation. I find over and over that friends are my "survival conveyor belt." They've carried me – either with direct contact or simply knowing they love me and are on my side – through some of the most difficult, painful, confusing, and dark periods of the last year and a half. I'm so very, very grateful.
