Not much to write to day. Worked, was really tired, ate ice cream, chatted. That's about it.
But I just wanted to talk about someone who I really admire. You meet a lot of people in your life, some good, some bad, some that are forgettable, some that you'll never forget. Over the past year, I've met a lot of new people. Some that I like, some I don't. Today, I just want to talk about someone who means a lot to me, and who I really kind of look up to in a way.
Rarely in your life do you meet a selfless person. A person who gives, without ever expecting to receive anything in return. So into my life falls the person I like to call the Fairy Godmother. She pops into your life, makes your wishes come true, pops out and never says a thing about it. There are people out there that she has helped who don't even know it, because she doesn't want the credit, and I'm sure that the people she HAS helped know of whom I'm talking about. She just wants to make dreams come true, and she's happy with just knowing that she helped out. And I know it's not always easy for her. I don't think I've ever seen her in the spotlight - she shies away from it, her name isn't known all over, and she rather likes it that way. But I just wanted her to know that she's appreciated. Because although the people that she's helped may not know what she's done, I certainly do. And I love her for trying to make my dreams come true, too, though it hasn't worked out.
I'm proud to call her my friend, and I'm happy that she calls me a friend (i hope she does, anyway). I'm glad to help her carry out her plans to help other people be happy. And most of all, I'm happy that in a little way, she's gotten the recognition that she deserves, the little 'Thank You' that she doesn't normally get. Because when times are tough my friend, think of that little 'Thank You' and hopefully it makes all the tough times that much more bearable. A 'Thank You' and freckles. What could be better than that?

She is a rare person who looks for opportunities to do good and seeks no credit in return. She has touched my life in ways large and small and I have yet to figure out a way to adequately express my gratitude. She has touched more lives than know it and is running up a huge credit balance in the karma bank.
Thanks for making the world a better place, FG!
Posted by: Noelle on April 1, 2003 09:32 AMhey, no fair! I want a FG too.

Doesn't everything, Susan? *wink*
Posted by: Noelle on April 1, 2003 04:09 PMThank you my friend. Thank you to both of my friends. I really needed that today, which I suspect you knew.
Did I tell you that my "Thank You' is going to have a prominent place in my new office? Now if you can pull some strings and get those freckles in there, I may lock the door and never come out.
And don't worry, I'm going to take care of you one of these days. I just have to wait until the right moment comes along again. ;)
Posted by: The Fairy Godmother on April 1, 2003 06:06 PMGood to know someone is taking care of you and I'm sure you would do the same for them.
