Last night

Mr. Johns and Addie

Mr. Johns after my Easter dinner last night, right after dessert actually!

Last night I sat in my living room surrounded by people I love and respect and I thought, "jeez how lucky am I"?  So many people are less fortunate than I, and I really took in the moment and thanked God for it.  I am positive I haven't done anything to deserve all this happiness and peace and contentment.  I see things for how they really are now, and I also see people for who they are as well, and what type of person they are in my life, and how true of a friend.  A true friend loves and supports you no matter what, and they never give up on you and accept you.  I will always try to be the friend my friends are to me.  This Thursday it'll be 3 weeks since I started to get well, and I hope people are starting to see the physical changes in me, because I FEEL better.

Angie had to leave immediately after dinner and drove all the way back to Mississippi to be back at work this morning, now that is love!  I think she is going to try to come down next month or I will try to get down there to her, as Alecia says she will be my co-pilot for my first trip.  My Sookie is NOT thrilled about Copper and Heffer, Ang's two Chihuahua's at all.  As soon as she realized they were gone and not likely to return soon she was visually pleased. as in she came out of her hidey hole and started to socialize.

I finally got all the dishes washed and put away and the tablecloth washed and put back on the table, and the house is back in order.  Now I am listening to the rain, and listening to the Pogues.

Perfect night

Too exhausted to blog about this weekends events, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps not at all.  Beyond happy, and feeling all the love, oh and LOVING this weather!  Let's go to sleep with some Frank.

Happy Easter

No matter what other blessings are bestowed upon me I know that none can top Angie in the next room.  Alright dear reader here is the thing; Ang took over a hotel in Hattiesburg, Mississippi last weekend and drove there from Florida with her 2 dogs and 2 cats in a U-Haul and towing her car.  Now it seems my Oklahoma bff contacted my lifetime bff lol, and said "hey Sam's b-day is coming up, since you are so close, why not come up".  To which Ang responded, "Oh I am coming up next weekend"!  So all week Alecia has been saying things like, "Are you sure you want to do this HUGE dinner, and invite ALL sorts of people"?  Trying to get me to cancel or whatever because she knew I would want to spend time with Ang, but I didn't catch the clues so I am still putting on the dinner, just with Angie at my table also.  So there I am relaxing yesterday morning and I call Ang to chat and catch up, and I say, "You know you are invited to Easter dinner tomorrow if you leave now you could be here for dinner".  Unbeknownst to me she was a hour or so away!  So when I heard the unexpected knock at the door I never guessed in a million years it would be Ang, and her two Chihuahua's and well, I just cried all over her!  You never REALLY get how bad you need to see someone until they are standing in front of you.  In that moment all I could think of was, "I am blessed beyond measure with love and support and friendship, and I should NEVER take one second of my amazing life for granted".  As I prepare to go into my kitchen and cook a Thanksgiving size meal I wish you dear reader all the blessings God has in store for you and yours and may your holiday be as happy and full of love and laughter and friends and family as mine will be.
