Such a dreary day....makes me want to get back into the bed, pull the cool crisp sheets over my body and go back to sleep....so, what do I do instead? I get up, I get myself cleaned up, dressed and start the day...looking for ways to combat the dreary feelings in my body and head.
I choose to do something that I love...scrapbooking. Looking at the pictures of those I care most about, and me doing those things that I love. Today, I am mostly journaling, an activity that I only dislike because I hate writing everything out, but, love remembering the special moments that I am writing about.
Today, I just journaled about a special visit from a very special friend. She and I met on the internet...through a scrapbooking message board. We got to meet irl a couple of years ago, in her world. Last January, she came into my world......and shared my family with me.....and experienced things that are a bit different here in the states.
I realized while I looked at those pictures, she really does live a different life than me. Now, the everyday things are basically the same...taking care of the home, taking care of the kids (although her girls are still just that, girls, while mine are now young women) tending to our sweet husbands and their needs, and, of course, scrapbooking!! But, at closer glance, we are worlds apart. We are separated by some vast differences. On days she wakes up to snow, I wake up to sunshine and daisies, she sees mountains, I see oceans, she eats scones, I eat biscuits (which really are NOT the same thing no matter what the lady at the Cracker Barrel says) she uses different phrases and words to say the same things.....some of them being a whole lot nicer than the American version) like we say HUH??? and they, here comes the nicer version, say eh?? Means the same thing?? Whaaaaaa?? Just sounds nicer. She spells similar words different than me....using the ou combination quite often, which I have started to do and it is driving my family and friends nuts.....they think I am wrong when I put colour instead of color!!
I realized something else when looking at the pictures of she and I last Jan. I miss her, I really do, alot!! I wish we were closer. I know we could be fast friends....those special type of "girl" friends. I know I can trust her. I could tell her anything and noone would ever hear about it....and she could do the same with me. I need that. Everyone needs that. I crave it!! I have been kicked so many times by other "friends" that I am slow to trust and bare my heart to some other female!!!
Basically, what I am trying to say, is I love her....as a friend of course. She knows who she is. I hope she knows how I feel!!!
