Pen Pals...

To my modern day Pen-Pal,

How are you, my friend?  Have you managed to get ahead of this weather and keep moving?  I just barely am.  I do what I must and only a tiny bit extra.  Bit since we don't live in Southern California, I don't see the point in complaining. :)

If we told people we only ever met once and it was so brief, I think people would think it to be strange.  I mean, sometimes I think its strange.  But since the first time I met you, I liked you.  Isn't that so rare?  I'm learning that it is...But in this day an age, If you got someone who will listen to you talk- care what you say-  You hold onto them tightly, right?

I think your a lot of things that I wish I was.. You seem so capable and busy, that I wonder how you do it.  Then I worry you do too much.  But lately- I kinda just think your figuring it out.  I'm actually pretty proud of you for that... Recognizing when something needs changing and then fighting to change it-  Well even I know how hard and nearly impossible that feels.  So good for you.  And PS-  I love the bangs-  But I love even more that your daughter doesn't.  Does that sound cruel?  I just love the honesty of little ones.  Straight from the heart.  And the kind of love that people like you and I need.  It keeps us afloat.

Anyways... Just wanted to say hi, that I think about you.. Take care of yourself and your little family too...
