just sayin' thanks

thanks ... to my friends for enriching my life and inviting me to be part of your lives.

giving some virtual (re)hugs ... this morning i woke up feeling a little stressed because i didn't get to cubeopolis stuff that i had intended to do this weekend. meanwhile, i spent time with family and friends and myself - time for which it may have been a needed respite from cubeopolis. however, i do realize the value of cubeopolis, so i am committed to play catch-up tonight.

thinking happy thoughts ... anyway, while i was feeling a bit poo-poo and getting ready for work this morning, i thought about a few people (and things) to (re)hug (virtually) and then decided to revisit the past couple of months of posts to remind myself of some of the fun - just sayin' thanks, in no special order, to ...

• kit for inviting me to share in her clean your closet, change your life transformation. i'm looking forward to her book!
• fluevogs because they are my indulgence and keep my feet happy, and as they state - they are unique soles for unique souls.
  
• rennie because his youthful spirit, wit, and rainman-knowledge of film makes him one of my favorite god-friends. note to self - must visit him in nyc.
  
• pete because he brought sci-fi, fantasy, and fun into my college years, and reconnecting him has reminded me of our special friendship and giving back.
• anna for reconnecting with me and allowing me to enjoy your wonderful hearty laugh in the decade-2000. and congrats on your recent nuptials!
• todd for reinforcing (and enforcing) the importance of grammar, wordsmith-style, and creative ways to use the english language for wit and snark.
  
• kelly for her strength and courage and for sharing her raw emotions. although i missed the memorial this past saturday down south, kelly and dave continue to be in my thoughts.
• floyd for being floyd - thoughtful, witty, snarky, caring, and truly authentic. and thanks for sharing marlene's artwork. you are blessed to be her husband.
  
• marlene for bringing her beautiful art into the world to share with others

• greg (aka oracle) for his witticism and practicality. he also contributed the quote sometimes logic must give way to equity.
• chip for his photography, cleverness, and facebook posts.
• pho queen who will one day be sending me postcards (REAL post cards) from places near and far away.
• carrie for reminding me how patience, diligence, and friendliness are valued traits - she lives these traits.
  
• shelley for introducing me to joan didion and birds and the magic of nature. note to self - visit north carolina.
• susan for being the first person who introduced me to the term wicked (repeatedly).
• reggie for being my halloween birthday buddy, albeit 7-years younger and with a different tribe, but that has its benefits!
  
• tyler, whom i only know virtually but who has helped reawaken a spirit in me that i have come to reconnect.
  

time to continue on with my day, my week, and life!
(yes, cubeopolis beckons)
