Thankful

categories: happy

Today’s post is a little late, but it’s been a big day. I will write more about it tomorrow, but I do want to say thank you to all those who responded today on Facebook and the blog with positive thoughts and well wishes regarding the bike campaign. I spent the morning talking to you all about that and then headed to Food Blog South for the afternoon. I did my taxes after I got home and then enjoyed steak, Brussels sprouts, and catching up on shows with the man. All in all, a wonderful end to what started out as a kind of dreadful day. But, I still woke up, I still have air, food, water, clothing, housing, and my health. I still have love for God, my friends, and my family in my heart. And so I had the most amazing day – period. Good night, dear friends, and thank you for stopping by.

Love yourself.
Find peace inside.
Share happiness.

Apology

categories: birthday

It was brought to my attention tonight that my birthday wish bike campaign came across as greedy. I had no idea and apologize to anyone that may have seen it or felt that way. I have ended the campaign and will find another way to get the bike. Thank you all for your support and love.

Reunion

categories: love

Tonight I dropped a friend off at the Greyhound bus station. As I started to pull away, a car pulled in and parked behind me. A young lady got out and was immediately bowled over with a hug by another young lady who came running out of the station squealing.

I don’t fly a lot and I’ve never taken the train farther than the airport. I have never ridden on a Greyhound. My point is that I don’t necessarily get to experience a lot of other people’s reunions. Watching that scene tonight left me with a twinge of wistfulness wishing I saw unabridged happiness like that more often. Maybe it’s out there and I’m just not a part of the jet setter world so I don’t see it. Is it out there? Are there tearful, hug-filled squeals of joy at the airport? I am sure there are when our service men and women return home, but what about everyone else? Do we, as a society, still show excitement and affection when we see someone we’ve missed for a while? Or is it just hug and a smile? Let’s squeal when we see those we love or missed. Let’s get excited when we hold them in our arms again. Let’s love LOUD. I am (fair warning).

Love yourself.
Find peace inside.
Share happiness.
