You Complete Me :)

I've decided I'm gonna make this blog post about y'all. Why? Because y'all deserve it. We all have our individual paths in life, but thank God, literally, that our paths are not meant to be isolated from one another. They intersect in beautiful and surprising ways, for the benefit of us all. Why some people don't make use of those intersections is beyond me.

Of course, it's not all happy giddiness. There are times when having a close connection with someone is vital. It's crucial in warding off sadness, anger, depression, loneliness, etc. And, I confess that this blog (in its two incarnations...Xanga and Blogspot) is often the place I go to find that connection. And because of that, I say thank you for reaching out to me. My hope is that I can reach back in an equally powerful way.

So, as a small way of expressing my appreciation, I want to share a quote that perfectly describes that magical moment when a regular ol' acquaintance becomes a treasured friend. (At least one of you already knows it, since I swiped it--in a friendly manner, of course--from your blog.)


"We cannot tell the precise moment when a friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindness there is at last one which makes the heart run over." - James Boswell
