Pure Joy

I have the pleasure of knowing some of the best people on God’s green earth. It is pure joy when I talk with some people I know. How did my friend who I’ve known all my life know I was feeling down? How did she know to call me at that exact moment when my daughter walked on without me because my feet hurt? How did my workout buddy know the exact words to say to make me feel better when I was feeling totally beat down? Maybe, because they know me. It is pure joy knowing them and knowing they know me. I don’t know how else to say it.

I am so grateful to have these friends in my life. I am lucky, blessed, and beyond thankful for them. I hope I am there for them. I have to make sure I am, I am going to try to be so much more aware of them and issues that may be going on with them and take the time to let them know I care. I want them to feel what I am feeling right now.

I’m feeling mushy I guess. I am reliving the beach, boardwalk and memories with my beautiful daughter whom I love to the beach, moon, or wherever, and back. There are no words that can even come close to the love I feel for her. We are spending an overnight trip at the beach together. I don’t get enough time with her anymore. As a single mom, she was my world for over ten years and it is incredibly hard letting her grow on her own as an adult woman.

I thank my daughter, my childhood, lifetime friend Deirdre and my workout buddy Kathy. I love you all from the bottom of my heart, or wherever I can compare to let you know how much I appreciate you. Thank you for your time, thoughts and encouraging words, exactly when I need them. I love you all!

Do you have people like this in your life? I sure hope you do, if not, try to make friends more. The feeling inside is absolutely incredible. Spread the joy wherever you go, even if you don’t feel like it, it will be good for your soul, or someone else’s! Spread the joy people! Pure joy!
