Surrounded
Nov. 14th, 2011 10:47 pmOn the one hand, I feel a bit guilty that I haven't gotten around to mentioning this yet, in my list of gratitudes. On the other hand, today more than any other day, it seems appropriate.
I am grateful for my friends, and for living a life surrounded by people who care about me, and for me. I've joked that I seem to draw white knights and protectors to me like a magnet draws sewing needles, but it's true - and I cherish this fact more than I can say, even while I'm not quite sure what I've done to deserve it.
And today I have a blue rose and a card from a friend who heard I was having a rough day at work and snuck out to my office to deliver them to me (and a handful of slightly confused coworkers, who aren't quite sure what to make of the handful of non-spouse guys who show up to meet me after work, deliver flowers, or otherwise drop by the office for greetings and hugs). I have a mashup of 'Sweet Home Alabama' and 'Werewolves of London,' hunted down by my pet DJ. I had a warm home and dinner cooking when I finally escaped from work, and a new issue of Cooks Country to entertain me - another gift from my amazing husband. I have an invitation waiting for a new game, courtesy of another dear friend who is doing a truly Herculean job of cheerleading and supporting.
I am lucky beyond belief, and I am surrounded by affection and support. I have no idea why, but I am not going to argue it....
