This is me...being grateful.

So, there is this person that I was acquainted with for a couple of years, but really knew nothing about their life...but they noticed my posts seemed sad, and they picked up on it early on.  Since then, we have become closer friends, learning more about each other, challenging each other to be positive, and scolding (OK...I'm the one being scolded for the most part) when thoughts are not positive...in a loving way, with a pep-talk, if you will.  This friendship has been one that was just arranged by God, I'd like to think for both of our benefits.  They came out of their box to identify with me, and entrusted me with their story, as I have entrusted those who read my blog with mine.

I've mentioned the people that have contacted me to tell me they are praying for me, or to chin up, or that I will be OK, eventually, and still validating my sadness, all at the same time.  There have been so many, and they all say something different, something I needed to hear when they came in, and just as they tell me they can hear the pain in my posts, feel it, even, I can feel the love that they have poured into the messages that they have sent, and I'm so very appreciative of each one.  THANK YOU, friends, for reading, for caring, for messaging, for praying.  Keep it up...I still have to pay rent for two months and haven't started receiving pay checks yet, so yeah....just pray.  It'll all fall into place, I know it will, so I'm trying not to worry.

I just wanted to say how very thankful I am that you come here to read about my day, about my feelings, about my life...and I hope that you gain something from the reading an such...because then what all I'm going through has a point; meaning.  Something positive is then coming from something so sad and negative. 

So here I am, optimistic about being able to help someone else with my story, and so very happy that I have friends just like that monkey in the photo who take care of me, even when I "weigh" a lot.

Wish me luck at work tomorrow...
