This blog is totally about YOU...

Have you ever read a Facebook status or blog and totally thought they were talking about you? And it's usually when they're mad about something someone (you) did or did not do, said, or wore? Well...just to set this straight...this blog is totally about you. Over the years, I have met so many inspirational people. I wish I was the kind of person who could tell someone how much I appreciate them, and I do try to show my gratitude whenever I can, but I am kind of shy when it comes to praise. So, as you read this, I hope you find at least one thing that makes you go "hmmm...I think she is talking about me!" For obvious reasons, I have omitted all names and faces, and no animals were harmed during the making of this blog.

1. Have you ever met a person who is so in love with life that it makes you realize that having a job or career doing something you love makes everything else in life fall into place? It really doesn't matter how much money you make or where you live, because when you are doing what you love, you can make the best of everything.
2. Someone who is so selfless they will do anything for you at the drop of a hat...if you need a ride, they will figure out how to make it happen. If you need someone to talk to, they drop everything and lend an ear.
3. Motivation can happen just by being in the same room as people. When you are around them, you want to be a better, stronger, fitter person. There is probably a little jealousy out there, just because they are better at things, but that is such a motivator to improve skills, it can be a good thing.
4. Someone who knows you better than you know yourself. They don't just finish your sentences, they say exactly what you are thinking before you even say it. It is so much fun to hang out with them because you are always on the same page, but can have lively discussions, because of course, we are both always right.
5. Someone you haven't seen in forever but, when you get together, it is like you never left. It is great to be able to catch up and you always have someone to listen to you complain, cheer on your successes, and make sure everything is going to be okay.
6. Someone you can have a lively debate with, knowing you are both right, but talk just to talk. It is great to have someone who can hold up their end.
7. Someone who is so much like you, they can help you dissect everything that you are doing when you don't even realize you are doing it.
8. People who love you just because you are you, and people you love because they make you smile.
