I am sitting here think about people. about all of the people we encounter in life. I have never actually read the book the five people you meet in Heaven but I have seen the movie, and I know enough to understand the concept. A man dies and remeets five of the people who impacted his life the greatest. I always kind of thought this would have some truth to it. But also because when I was a child Kristy Alley starred in a kids movie where she was stuck in limbo as the toothfairy, and had to watch all the people in her life on a television, and if I remember correctly, she could watch her life as she had lived it on the TV... From then on I think that I pretty much thought that was how it worked when you got upstairs, and to be honest, would like to believe that had some truth to it as well.
My point being that find people to be such an important part of life. all of them. When we are laying at the end of our rope, it is the memories with them that we hold on to. When we are in trouble, it is them that we turn to. They teach us so many lessons both good and bad that, I guess I would like to believe we get to watch them on TV when we're gone. Or that our loved ones can look down on us now and again.
I guess mostly I am just counting my blessings, because at the end of each day, no matter what, that is what I find myself doing. After having one of those good ole fashioned when it rains it pours kind of weeks that we all have, That is what I always seem to always end up doing. I have that kind of luck in life, that when something goes wrong. another thing does, and then everything just kind of explodes at once, except I do it a special kind of way that you literally could not make this crap up. Don't mistake me I am not complaining, not at all. The opposite as a matter of fact. See that is my thing, It can be bad, and I mean really bad, and I think that is a good thing for me, because it is times like these when I sit myself down and remind myself that at the end of the day I am feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
And that is because of the people I surround myself with. The amazing wonderful beautiful people that I am so unbelievably lucky to have the privilege of their presence in my life.
I wont get into the details, of why, and I wont name names, because honestly it would just take away from the value of what I am really trying to say.
Which I guess is just that I hope that it is not just me. I hope this is normal. I hope every other person in the world has people to be thankful for. People who help them when they are too stubborn or proud to ask. People who cannot fix their problems, but they can lay next time them for awhile just to let the tears dry. People whose smile literally lights up their entire world. People who can laugh at them when they say or do something stupid, because, in an hour you'll laugh at it too. People who can show you new things, people to tell your secrets to, people who lift you up because you want to climb a billboard, people who tell you the truth, whether you want to hear it or not, people to vent to, people to help you move. people to spend your holidays with or cover your shift. to take you home when you've had too much to drink. People who take their hard times, mix them with yours, and turn it all around into something good. People who say go take a bubble bath. People who you can count on. People who can laugh with. People who you can jump out of a closet and make them jump. People you can be completely comfortable around. People you can bicker with and not fear losing all together. People who you don't have to wear pants around, because you don't like wearing pants. People who pick you up when you fall down, or lay next to you and listen. People you can call at any hour and show up at their door when you need to.
People to be grateful for.
People you could not imagine your life without.
People that when life throws you a curve ball, make you feel like the luckiest person alive.
I hope that everyone who has those people, never forget just how lucky they are.
