Thanksgiving Thankfuls ~ November 5th, 2010
When preparing to start these posts, my dear friend Shana was concerned about doing them “right”. I told her there was no “right” way to do this and that “you could be thankful for paperclips for all I care!”. This has led to a myriad of other things for us. Now I will never look at a paper clip the same…they will always have special meaning for Shana and I. She actually wrote a “Thanksgiving Thankfuls” post about paperclips! Then in true friend, it’s the little things that matter most fashion, she presented me with a handmade, multicolored even, paperclip bracelet. She had made one for herself, and one for me. This bracelet I am donning with a smile on my face and a warm heart, as it is worth more than any expensive precious metal model out there! So today, I am thankful for my all inclusive, no holds bar, I love you know matter what, friendship with Shana!

I’m sitting here reading this at 8:44 on a gloomy Friday morning, with tears in my eyes. First, I totally needed this today. Second, I almost didn’t give you that bracelet for fear you’d think it was cheesy, or silly, or dumb, (etc.) but I did anyway, with your voice in my head telling me to “own it”, figuring I should be true to myself. In return I got your unconditional, loving me for my goofy self, true, honest to goodness Heidi support. Saying I love you isn’t enough. Telling you how thankful I am that you have come into my life just doesn’t cut it. I thank you for helping me grow, bolstering me up (constantly) and simply for loving me as I come, for who I am. THANK YOU!!!! *sniff*
