It Just Happens

There is a downside to being emotional but there is a great upside. When I meet somebody and in 10 minutes I have summed them up to see their greatness and brilliance -- well I am just in love and there I stay no matter what. Above is Karen to the left and Carol to the right - two women I used to work with and they are so great. Carol is super and I enjoyed both working with her but also was always impressed with her personal kindness - so sweet. Karen -- well she sends me into that outer stratosphere - still at my age I am constantly impressed and happy people like her exist. Maybe it is because of her wonderful Midwestern ways and point of view - maybe it is her inner strength or phenomenal personality - maybe it is just everything combined into one but I love her! It just happens to me - I know when someone is special and I appreciate it and I feel this way about so many people I know - most the people I know, that is why I know them. I can't name names for fear for forgetting someone but I love so many people - genuinely - they make me smile, regardless if they are around to see that smile or not. I just have always known that truly special and good people are not to be discarded or taken for granted and because of that I stand in awe and love endlessly people like Karen. I kick myself so often for my bad decisions - of which I do have plenty - but I should list all the good decisions - all the good people that made sure to enjoy and let them know I enjoy.
PS Even writing this post and just thinking about Karen - I am smiling and giggling and feeling great -- that is an remarkable power some people posses - and I get to enjoy it.
