Dear friends,
I wrote something eloquent.. but then lost the napkin I wrote it on:P... so I'll just let my heart speak..
As another year passes.. I find myself wondering how the hell I got here. As some of you may know, in this past year my life has changed DRAMATICALLY. For the good and growth of my soul. Luckily I have had some wonderful people in my life to help me on my way thru this year..(and i never would have gotten here if it were not for those of you who have supported me and been with me along the way) and I look forward to my 26th as being one of the best. I feel gifted that I have had so many of you touch my life in a positive way.. and I'm happy to know that I have done the same for you.
I look forward with optimistic eyes...And no matter what life throws at me.. I know that I have people to look to for guidance.. or to just help me laugh and not take things so damn serious.. I believe in two very strong things that let my soul at ease..
1-Everything happens for a REASON
2-Everything works out the way it's supposed to.. no matter how awful it may seem.. refer to #1.
I think im doing alright compared to where I COULD be. But I do believe I wouldn't have gotten here without you, my dear friends. And for that I thank the universe.
That having been said--
I wrote that (or something similar) And then I get knocked on my butt again with..kindness this time. I received an email:
"We all thought you should get a new camera for your birthday, so we decided to pitch in what we could to try to make that happen. By the end of the day on your birthday all the contributions should be in, so you will know how much you will have toward it. I hope Amazon is okay selectionwise. Happy Shopping!Happy Birthday Girl Love Melissa"
Amazon gift certificates...
Im speechless. I never in a million years would expect such thoughtfulness. Especially because I have not been able to give presents to my friends this year.(im more into giving than rreceiving, hey get your mind out of the gutter!) it makes me happy and sad at the same time...I feel so loved.
my heart..is filled with goodness. I don't expect presents my dear friends.. I'm just thankful to have you in my life.
keep on smiling...you are important to me.
