People who Listen

Before this evening, I thought I was going to end up writing this blog post about one of the small joys of life. Like flannel shirts, for instance, or fruit snacks, or wireless internet. (All of which I'm grateful for, don't get me wrong.) But for reasons I'm not going to delve into, I feel like I really need to express gratitude today for the people in my life who truly care to listen to me when I need it the most.

Have you ever had an experience where you're just overwhelmed with your own feelings, like your heart has turned into a giant bag of rocks? If you have, you probably also know how good it feels to sit down with someone, tell them what's on your mind, and discuss it with them, and know that you're not completely alone. It's such sweet relief to know that you don't have to go through what you're going through alone.

You can't handle everything on your own. It's a hard fact of life. That's part of the reason why we're supposed to interact with other people--to pull each other through the hard times.

People who listen--I love you, and I am so grateful that you are in my life. I honestly don't know what I would do without you.

(Want a boost? Listen to the song ^ )

I love you!
