Gifts from my BFF a big book of happiness and a "old school" book to make all my lists.  How cool is that????

Day 3

"We must participate relentlessly in the manifestation of our own blessings!" I read this somewhere and I think this what I am trying to do here. I am trying to manifest my blessings. I am creating joy where I thought I might not find it. I was thinking last night about the people that I have collected in my 49 year journey, not relatives but people that I've met along the way that have had an impact be it for a day or many years. What I've learned from them, how many have stood the test of time and how many really know me. I mean the “me” that would write this blog or be afraid that I haven’t really made any big accomplishments in my life. I think that most people would be lucky to have just one person that REALLY knows them. I'm lucky to have a person like this in my life....


We have cried, laughed until we cried, listened as we each made it through heart breaks, lost jobs, shared the joys of new loves and the disappointments of old one, window shopped, dreamed, grew, learned, taught, shared and have spent countless hours in starbucks sharing all of the above. This is the friendship along with others that I will call on to help me through to the end of the year.
