The corner behind

It is Friday. And I am absolutely screaming inside with excitment. Yeehaw! It is an amazing day outside today too...which only makes it that much better.

I had this friend...ya know techy guy? Anyway, we would always start out our emails each day describing what we saw on the way to work. The sky, the clouds and how it made us feel. He was a "flatlander" and I live in a really high elevation surrounded by volcanos. So our landscapes were very different, but beautiful on both ends, to say the least. By doing this with him, not only did he spark my creativity (I just love it when someone does that to me) but he kept me realizing what each and every day has to offer. I miss him and the way he influenced the way I felt about myself and life in general. People like him are a rarity indeed.

So...

Today is good. As each day has it's benefits. Sometimes, only seen in retrospect.

I talked a bit more with this "come on strong" guy. He was much...Much better yesterday. I was actually able to carry a conversation with him that didn't go on about how wonderful it was going to be for us in the future. Instead...we told funny stories about the past, what we liked about it and didn't and lessons learned from them. I really enjoyed it and saw maybe something geniune about him. He even put his cowboy hat on for me! WooHoo! Yum... Ahemm...Anyway...It just felt easy and relaxed. I like that.

Life is so hard...I will take the easy where I can get it.

Love is the most difficult and dangerous form of Courage. Courage, is the most desperate, admirable and noble kind of Love.
