Like I said in an earlier post about getting rid of people who have nothing but negativity or are not necessarily healthy for me, I should mention all the lovely people I have in my life NOW. It seems that getting rid of the bad/old/negative/whatever you want to call it, it has made room for some pretty amazing people.
One person in particular sticks out in mind. And this quote fits how I feel perfectly:
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle our inner spirit" ~Albert Schweitzer
I see her probably more than I see any other person besides my partner. I see her Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, at 7.30 in the morning. Now, we met because she started to work at my chiropractor a couple of months ago. And can I just say how much I love getting hooked up to my torture devises now that she’s there? She is so upbeat, positive, loving, and just an incredible human being. I am really so blessed to have her in my life. Every morning I walk in that office, and even if I am having a crappy morning, her smiles, laughter, hugs, and just overall loveliness makes me forget about my problems. She’s a healer of all sorts, and I can’t help but feel this deep connection with her. I think the two of us are learning so much from each other, or at least I hope so. We don’t hang out too much, but I am hoping that changes soon. And it will. Monday we are going to the Tegan and Sara concert, and I can’t wait to dance and sing with her. Really, I am just excited that it seems like I have a true friend.
I always believed that I was one of those people who lit up the room, made the room a little happier or positive when I walked in. Not to be self-involved, but it's true. I like to think of my personality, energy, and presence as something uplifting. Sam is the same way, which may be why I am so excited to have her in my life.

Since my person—my best, best, best, best friend—moved away last year, it has been extremely hard for me to have friends. I have had them, sure, but I have also lost touch with most of them for various reason. Having Sam around has helped me realize that there are some really awesome people out in the world, and luckily I have her and my person.
I also started a bookclub a few months ago, and the ladies in it all seem to be so lovely! I am looking forward to getting to know them a little bit more, because I think that we will all get along smashingly well.
I really just wanted to write this to say thank you to my new friend, Sam, and show her how much she means to me in these few short months. I think it is so important to have people in your life that you look forward to seeing, hearing from, or just hanging out. She has become one of those people for me.
Take the time today to say thank you or send a little text message saying a person is in your life. We need to all love if we want to see the world change into a more loving place. And I think that sending love to someone is a good way to start. And hopefully they get inspired and repeat the process—like a pay it forward, but with love.
Enjoy your weekend, whatever you do or don’t do. I am hoping to get out for a hike and some fly fishing.
