Poker Face

I do not have a poker face - I just don't.  I haven't needed one so I have not developed one.  Because of this, if I like you then you know that I love you.  I have mentioned Sharlowe before, she is in my weight loss group, and I LOVE her.  She is wonderful and spectacular and when I see her I always feel great and smile so hard it hurts.  This might not be very good as I am the leader now of the group and I do not want people to have the perception that I have favorites, but I do.  I cannot even tell you specifically why I am so enamored with her.  Instead of a poker face, very early on, what I did develop was the sense to be able to tell very quickly who had that certain special something and then made sure I put forth effort to have them in my life.  It is what I can see around a person that draws me to them.  Not like an aura per se but an intuition.  It certainly had been on the mark.  The amount of friends I have cultivated and enjoyed is something that makes be both happy and proud.

I loved, loVED, LOVED Sharlowe and then I found out she makes homemade cards.  I have posted some before.  OMG for me that is like winning the lottery and then being told you do not have to pay taxes.  She is so lovely.  Did I mention that I love her?  She sent me the above card this week and as you can tell it has put a huge smile on my face.  And for as awesome as this card is, she hand painted the watering can, it is not she enclosed that made me say aloud, "That is why I love her".  Here is her note:

"Hey Scott!  Just a note to that you for all you do for us at TOPS.  Your attitude is amazing and you keep us all upbeat.  You are looking great and I can see that you are eating healthy foods.  It is so hard to change bad habits, but you are doing it!  I appreciate your friendly smiling ways.  Keep on doing what works for you and thank you for helping us."

Ahhhhh, did I mention that I love her????
