Family

May 21, 2010 12:47

I'm going to a wedding today. One of my cousins is getting married. Sadly, the only cousin on my mom's side who is actually older than me got married far away and I was in college, so I couldn't go. I am truly excited for this day.

......

I love the fact that I am exponentially lucky. I not only have a biological family that kicks butt but  I also have my other family, consisting of dear friends from here, there, and everywhere. These are people whom I have just scooped up, tied together, and put in my heart. And they can't get out!!! Bwa. Bwa ha ha. Bwahahahahahahaha. Ehem.

I am also feeling really mushy today because thanks to Facebook, I have reconnected with all but one person whom I'd really like to connect with. When I was in kindergarden I was BFFs with a guy who was two years older. He lived on my street and went to my school, but then he moved away and we lost touch. If I could find him, all of my little duckies (that's you all) would be in a row.

Maybe I'm also feeling mushy because the Lost finale, as I mentioned, is kind of like a graduation in a way. I met some FANTASTIC people just because we all watched Lost and liked talking about it. I can't really imagine my life now without people like Julie, Cheri, Paget, Jon, and Andy, among others. So even though we're not parting ways, it really makes me look back and appreciate the sheer luck involved when meeting people who can change your life. Its amazing. Astonishing. And other adjectives that begin with A.

So yes. On this somewhat overcast day, I am radiating out love and sunshine to everyone who reads this. My life is built on a foundation of solid gold and the heights are edged with silver.

I'm one happy, lucky lady today. And now it's recorded for all to see :)
