I got one of those [slightly cheesy] e-mails this morning about how
important our girlfriends are to us. And I sent it off to some of the
women in the world who have played an important role in my life.
However, I don't think think it's really necessary for me to send those
for my girls to know I love them. I'm an open person. I'm not sure I
ever wonder "does [x] know how much I care about them?" I tell people a
lot. Dating and new friendships are harder 'cause you don't want the
person to think you're a freak or be scared or whatever it is that they
might think 'cause you're openly expressing your feelings. Regardless,
my thought process still happens..."I'm so glad I met you because
you've given me 100 random smiles throughout the day....." I
quite enjoy the getting to know new friends, but I adore the comfort of
old...
I'm very, very fortunate that I do have the flow of friends in my
life that are here. And hopefully many years ahead to meet other
wonderful folks to talk with and love and know.

But we're better off for all that we let in
