I'm a lucky girl, believe it or not.
"In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted."
-- Bertrand Russell
I agree with that statement (much the same as I generally agree with most Bertrand Russell philosophy) wholeheartedly. I try not to take anything for granted in my life. The people who are important to me know that I love them, I try to make sure they know that every day. I don't believe in introversion for introversion's sake, but I do believe in doing a mental check in every once in awhile to be sure that your priorities are where you thought they were. Here's my mental check-in...
Bear - Sweet, sweet Bear. Love of my life. Every day, as I leave the house, I find myself frantically checking my neck for his collar. It's not that I'm afraid of reprisal (I usually enjoy the reprisal to be bluntly honest with you), it's that I want to go out and make him proud. I love that he owns me. I wouldn't want it any other way. He's kind and sensitive, loving and firm. He's the man I love and the man I want to marry. Thank you, Bear, for loving me (and in turn, making me feel worthy of love).
Caitlin - My dear one. Little adorable princess. The other love of my life. Curly headed, blue eyed, rambunctious, attitude driven almost four year old. I love watching her grow every single day (she surprised me by knowing all the words to the Bumblebee song today) and I can't wait to see her in the mornings. Thank you, Caitlin, for blessing me with such a daily humbling experience.
Kelly and Jessica - I'm lucky to have such loyal rottweilers on my side. Fierce to the very end to defend me. Great to drink with, great to go out to dinner and talk for hours with. Reminds me the meaning of true friendship. Thank you, ladies, for being such great friends.
Phedre - Yes, you made it onto here. I'm happy to have met this girl. We seem to have a lot in common and, even though we're both moving on within a year or so, I look forward to getting to know her better. She's sarcastic, funny, cute... the makings of a good friend. Thank you, Phedre, for allowing me a glimpse into your life, attitude, philosophies and issues; I can't wait to get to know you better.
Eala - What can I say? Still important to me after all these years. Once an acquaintance (EDIT: Eala reminded me that we were never aquanitances... we jumped immediately into being close friends LOL), then a friend, then a lover, now one of my best friends in the world. We plan on traveling the world together. We've known each other for years, but it feels like much longer. Plus, what a fantastic ass. Seriously. Check this out...
Thank you, Eala, for sticking by me through all the good times and through all the horrible times. I'm happy that we can't define us. It makes us much more interesting.
I might not have much money, or much time, but I do have wonderful people who bless me with their love and friendship daily. They've proven themselves to me, and I would fight to the death for them. I appreciate each and every one of you.
