Awesome Characters in My Story: JOler and Kerry

JOler (aka The Giver) and Kerry

Today started out with a dash--and not the kind I like to use when I'm writing. More of a harried, dash-to-get-ready-and-then-catch-the-train kind of dash. The kind where I can't even remember if I'm wearing matching shoes so I need to check...several times.

Add to that some big issues weighing on my mind and I was kind of in a funk this morning when I got to the office--the grouchy kind of funk, unfortunately. So it was good that I had spreadsheets to concentrate on and New Kids on the Block music on my iPod to drown out everything else.

Then "adult recess" time came (aka lunch); after having lunch with two of my favoritest people in the world, JOler and Kerry, and some good-natured teasing all around, I felt more like Happy Adele again.

Hooray!

I am tremendously blessed with good people in my life who are kind, generous, and hilarious; who help me in myriad situations, happy or otherwise; and who make me laugh ("Marco..."), especially when I need it most; and who love me for being the crazy person that I am, shame, fears, quirkiness, and all.

As I contemplate the story of my life and those people who are cast in various scenes and situations with me, I feel grateful for a fabulous, divine Casting Director who brings these amazing people into my life.
