Word Perv

I think half of the posts on this blog are about my friends. How amazing they are, how much I appreciate them, how they have been such a support to me, how they enrich my life. Really, I love them.

My friend Aimee is a relatively new friend. We met in yoga class when I noticed her felted bag. Squealing with delight I exclaimed, “You knit? You should join my friends and I at our next Stitch & Bitch!” Thus a friendship was born.

As we grew closer we learned we had a lot in common - some good, some not so good. We are both knitters, yoga devouts, and runners. We have an affliction for red wine and we both love a bargin. Oh, and we’re both separated and going through the stress of a divorce. Needless to say we have bonded and find we have a lot to talk about.

A few weeks back I wrote an article on My It Things about a necklace I liked.  It’s called a Karma necklace and I was charmed by its simplicity and beauty. I thought it was a delicate reminder of one’s thoughts and actions, and I wanted it. But having just dumped a large amount of money into my house to get it ready to sell, I wasn’t going to purchase the necklace. I was just going to lust after it.

Aimee is a faithful reader of this blog and everything I write. She also is a faithful penpal, and we all know how I adore this. Well yesterday, the mail brought a card from Aimee. Enclosed in that card was the Karma necklace and a note reminding me that I’ll get through the blue days, that I have friends to support me, and that it’s all gonna be okay.

Thank you my dear friend. You made my day. I hope you receive as much support from my friendship as I do from yours. I think this means we’re fulfilling the karmic circle. Let’s hope so.
