We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.

I don’t know about you, but I have my fair share of small, idle, superficial conversations in the work place – I don’t want any in my actual life. 

I love that about Misty – s/he is painfully honest. And real. S/he is like that with just about most people who cross her/his path. S/he genuinely loves people, and has an gift of seeing the good in everyone. It’s beautiful to watch. 

It’s a Misty night. I have been looking forward to this since I said good bye to her/him last Saturday morning. 

I’ve had an emotional few days. Stress about the house, work, kids I think have made me more susceptible to the dips. Sometimes it is really hard to love the hell out of someone and be unsure about how they feel. Or worse, love them and have them not love you back. It pinches at my insides. I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. It’s just been too good – too wonderful. 

Tonight I will just enjoy her/him… love him/her while the fates will let me.
