Let me just say, epiphany's are great. Heavenly Father works in the weirdest and most unexpected ways. An unexpected question from a friend led me to this one. I'm not going to go into what I discovered, it's too personal for posting here. But, I'm content, and learning how to be okay with that. It's brought me greater peace than I could have known.
The best of the best friends has come home! The Childhood Friend found me on MySpace and wrote me. It was so unexpected. I thought for sure that I would never see or speak to her again after the last time we split ways. I have missed her more than I knew and I'm so glad to have her back in my life. Too bad she doesn't live close. It would be so great to see her. She pointed out in her last e-mail that she told me that she "never had a better friend to enjoy food with." Everyone needs a friend that they can eat with! It was great eating with her. Though I could eat anything at the time and not gain an ounce. Not so much anymore. But hey, that comes with getting older. Everyone needs a friend they can eat with, without worrying about judgement on what or how much they are eating. Well, girls do anyway. I don't think I've had that since. And, for me anyway, if you can eat with someone with out fear of being judged, you can trust them to not judge you in other ways. Food has so much weight in our society.
And speaking of weight gain, how can you not love a man that says, while you are crying into your pillow for gaining 50 pounds since being married, that he likes the way you look now so much more than he did when you got married. I know I can't. And he likes how I look in my bikinis. Yeah, he's a keeper.
I've realized, after following your writings for a while and concluding that they tend to lack a certain...cohesion to myself...I've been reading up on the wrong "deadpoet" for nigh unto a year, now. I'd not realized my error until an accidental scrupulous glance at my url bar revealed an -er that was not supposed to be there. I had a strange feeling that if I'd reminded you that "Randall still owes me 8 quid", you wouldn't know half a damn of what I was referring to. Cheers.
