friends have. I probably realize if someone's affecting me negatively, but may not recognize when someone's helping me.
For anyone who's been kind, helpful, insightful, informative, gentle, friendly, loyal, reliable ..... well this list could be quite long with those adjectives that describe nice people and how they have helped me ..... and I've not shown appreciation or said that you did help me, I apologize. This is for you guys.
Spent some time this week end with a good friend, intermittent with helping her some. She is intelligent, creative, smart, business-savvy, good with people and a whole lot of fun. She's also a hardworking woman who carries a lot of responsibility. I've worked with her a few times and always feel that I learn from watching her and talking with her about what's happening.
This week end it was the Healthy Living Expo--her brainchild and creation, since she brought it to life several years ago. It's a positive event for the community and I've always benefitted from attending and participating at some level. My hat's off to you, KR, for your effectiveness and tenacity. Your unwillingness to settle for less demonstrates to me the value of adhering to high standards. Thank you.
In addition to that, you're a heckuvalot of fun and I had very good time Saturday and Saturday evening.
Met up with another friend during the Saturday event; she and I commiserated on our failure to get to our water aerobics class and our loss for that failure. She suggested we go to the club Sunday and spend some time working out in the pool. Because she asked and I said yes, I went to the pool Sunday and spent an hour in motion. Not an extreme work out, but certainly better than sitting on the sofa. In addition to the physical activity, we had time to visit and catch up. A fine way to start a day. Thanx, TC, for coming along at the right time and carrying through.
Sunday afternoon, because I asked a talented friend who's always kind and gracious to me for assistance with a craft project (she's pretty crafty), I spent few hours with her figuring out how to do what I wanted to do and then doing it. I'm quite pleased with the results and feel so good about getting it done. Thank you, Mandy, for being open to helping me and always following through. I'd like to return the favors when you need assistance with something. In addition to actually doing something I wanted to do, I had a grand time.
These experiences with good friends, and good people renew a positive sense of myself as well as others. There're plenty of problems in life, and lots of things I can't fix. I am sometimes sad, depressed, angry and discouraged. When someone reaches out to you, it's easier to see that you ain't on this globe alone and you don't have to do everything by yourself.
