In my life I have spent many a day watching others and feeling less than. I can usually think of someone in my life that would say something better or be better at X than me. Mr. T is a great example. He can convey my thoughts so much better than I can 1/2 the time. As some have witnessed with me stumbling over my words in SS and turning to him for help. He has many attributes that I look up too.
I can honestly say that anyone who I gave this link to, has been an example to me at some point or another to follow. I have seen quiet wisdom, confidence, boldness, generosity, love, friendship, hospitality, and so much more from you all. I continue to learn more as our friendships develop.
I feel a deep loss and a since of sadness at the thought of part of us leaving. I see Dark and Roam as pillars to the group that have embraced us all and taken us at face value. I know I have been very blessed by their friendship and have learned to accept others more as I have found myself more accepted. Not to mention how comfortable it is, to not feel judged by your words or actions. I know that when I'm in the group I can be me and that sometimes I'll be liked more than others, but I'll always be cared for. Thanks for allowing me to be imperfect and showing me how to accept myself and others. I have learned so much through your friendships.
I am very thankful for the people God has put in my life so I can be more like Him, by following your examples.

I feel so blessed to have such awesome friends. It is comforting to know that I can be myself and you all still like me anyway.
Dar and Roaming have been the glue that has kept us all together. They were the original leaders in Love's Command that united the group. They have passed on that "stickiness." We all seem to be closer to each other than we ever have before. Dash and T have picked up the reigns and so have Forrest and Vernal.
Dar and Roaming will always be a part of us. I am so glad we can keep in touch with them by blogging.
Wow! What incredible friends we have. This has been a wonderful "season" in life and I'm glad we've all grown from it. Who knows what the next phase will bring? I know that good friends are easy to pick up where we left off, so we'll always be able to hang out when we pop back up again. Thanks for the kind words - you are all wonderful and uniquely different, and I'm so glad!
Thanks, T, for all the encouragement you bring to my life! You are the "realist" that brings my "optimist" onto a more level plain. You are also the "realist" that brings my "pessimist" back up to that level of "optimism". Thanks for being REAL, just like your blog title says!
That's what friends are for! =D
