Thankful:)

Music does strange things to me. Makes me dream. Makes me ponder. Makes me think. I recently came across a song that reminded me that there are so many things to be thankful for. My family. My friends. My apartment and job. My kitten. My life. This year I hope to make more of the relationships I have. Ensure that those I love know that I do. That they mean more than words can really describe. Each and every one of you have touched me in someway that I can’t necessarily describe but I know without you I wouldn’t be who I am. I love you all in special ways, different ways. Old friends, new friends, family, and the others that have more than one label to their name. There is so much for me to be thankful for. Thank you to all of you for what you have brought to me. I have a message for each and every one of you. Some apply to you, some don’t – but when you read this you will know which ones apply to you!

I love you.
Take the leap.
Say the words you really need to say.
Make the changes you need.
I am so happy you have found each other.
I am so fortunate to have you back in my life.
I’ll visit as soon as I get the invite:)
You frustrate me, but I still love you.
You will be able to make it through the next little bit – I’m here for anything you need.
I don’t see enough of you…we need to change that!
Congratulations on the new job – I am sad to see you go though.
I will help you with anything you could ever need.
Take the chance and jump off the edge.
I can’t wait for the announcement!
Congrats!
Kiss your boy(s) for me and give them a big hug.
Take the time to slow down and look around you.
Come visit.
I’ll catch you.
There is always room for you to stay – anytime you need to get away from the real world you can just stop by for as long as you want/need.
Find what you really want and go after it.
Excuses will only go so far, and then you have to act on it.
I’ll try to be patient.
I can’t wait to see you in a few months!
I miss you.
