The gratitude continues

April 25, 2007

You know what I love?

More than skittles or Mike and Ikes or sleeping in or writing in my blog.  More than sunshine, or being crafty, or reading Metro, or hearing love stories or “how we met” stories.  More than watching cute pudgy babies toddling about, or feeling their soft hand against my face.  More than dancing in a club and singing along while Crooklyn Clan remix of “Love like this before” is playing, speaking French for kicks and laughing so hard that my voice escalates to high pitched mode, or Stouffer’s Bistro Pesto Grilled Chicken meal. 

My family and friends. 

The past little while has been fraught with questions that I needed other perspectives on before making a decision, and if I hadn’t had people to talk to, I’d have probably done something I’d regret by now.  It’s one thing to know that friends and family are supposed to be your support system, it’s another thing entirely to step off the ledge, sure you’re hurtling toward certain death, then feel a soft landing instead of being obliterated by concrete.

You rock. 

Thank you.

I truly feel sorry for those who lack the love and support of family and friends.

    Hi,

    I love your blog and I come here every chance I can. I felt appreciation ought to be spoken rather than just thought….thank you

    So, JoomyDear….

    Now you know how I feel about you.

    I only wish that I could be to you what you are to me. You guide me through my decisions, you tell me when I've done something utterly stupid, you laugh at my hideous mistakes with me, and you listen to me ramble when I'm drunk.

    I'm glad that you wrote this only because it allows me to see that you KNOW how much I need the people in my life who are exactly like you. I wish I could be an advice go-to person for you.

    But I'll settle having you as a go-to person for me.

    Bless you, Wonderful Jooms.

    Aww Jumoke!

    It's a great feeling eh? I feel just as lucky! =)

    Thanks for all your support too.

    I hope you still feel the same way, even after I razzed you about the gym.

    Thank you.
