Random Thoughts and Musings

All of my Girl Scout gyrlies know the rest of the song, and will likely belt it out regardless of whether they like it or not, just out of habit.

I have a big mouth, and a hot temper. They get me into trouble more often than naught, and I spend a lot of time apologizing for running that big mouth when my hot temper gets the best of me. I have one saving grace: when I love someone, I truly love them, and I will go to the ends of the earth to do what needs to be done for them.

I might bitch, complain, and mouth off about it when I get tired, frustrated, or sick of other people’s attitudes … but I’ll still be working my ass off.

I have a very close-knit group of people that I talk to regularly and seek out when I want company. I have a wider circle of friends that I keep in touch with for holidays and birthdays. I have an even bigger circle of friends that I speak with daily, although I have not met  most of them in person.

That bigger circle of friends is made up of all of the people I have met on various message boards and social networks. I may not get to sit and kick back with them on Friday nights or Saturday afternoons, I may not speak to them on the phone, and I may not even know exactly where they live.

What I do know is that they have proven themselves time and time again, whether it be a card out of the blue, an offer to help obtain a certain goal, a present sent in the mail, or a phone call when they know I am down. This circle of friends is not any less important to me than my BFF, who they all hear about regularly. They are, in fact, more important to me than some of the people I have known for years.

For all of you who have done for me what I cannot do for myself, or who have offered to do things for me because you know I am struggling, or have reached out to smack me out of depression or cheer me up when I am down … thank you. I love you, and if there comes a day that I can do for you what you have done for me, please please please let me know.
