Dear Blog; Day 65

Have you ever thought about how nice it is to be cared about?  Loved?  Thought about?  I spent portions of the day with 3 special women in my life.  Each one different, each one special in their own way, each one having a different kind of relationship with me.  I have known each of them for different lengths of time.  I have made it a point in my life to try and surround myself with people who believe friendship to be a 2 way road.  I have been hurt before and I vowed that I wouldn't allow that to happen again and so far I have been pretty lucky.  Point being that it is nice to be loved, cared about and thought of. 

The first person I spent time with is my movie friend.  We bond over 5$ movies, its kind of our thing.  Not that that is all we do but it is something we do well together.  She is loud and opinionated and very loyal.  I appreciate that she trusts me and that she misses me when I am away.  I miss it when I don't hear from her pretty much daily.  She is a princess in her own right, and that is one thing that keeps me laughing everytime we get together!

The second person I spent time with is my grocery shopping friend.  This is what we do best.  I help her shop, and she lets me look at all the labels and talk non stop about food products and oogle over the things that I am currently not eating.  This isn't all we do though, just one of the things we do well together.  She is tough, independent, and fiercly loyal as well.  She takes a long time to trust, especially women; so when you're in, you're in.  I wanted to be someone she could count on, and trust and so I was patient.  It was worth the wait.  I don't get to see her often but I appreciate every second that we hang out.  She is one of the few people who can get me to do random things and just not care who sees.

And the third person I spent time with is my gamer friend. I have known her all her life.  We were inseperable as chidren.  We have recently found our way back to each other after having previously traveled down long and sometimes difficult paths.  I admire her tenacious personality, her ability to make me laugh and her ability to try again when the world pushes her down in the mud.  We don't have to talk, just being in the same room together is enough.  There is a certain energy that we get from each other that is inner connected. 

I share these things about these 3 women because I want them to know how much of an impact they have on my life.  I have some other women that mean the world to me as well but I didn't get to spend time with them today.  I know that I have made it this far in my program because I am loved, cared about and thought of.  So thank you!
