Misery Loves Company.

I have been thinking about this particular blog for quite sometime.. a few days actually. It's really easy to be negative. When I look at my own life I realize how selfish I am. There are so many people that worse off than myself. I know I've been thru some horrific situations as of late, but I'm choosing to go a different route this time around. Yes, I am sad ...Deeply. Yes, I am hurt and even a little depressed, but I've decided that those feelings cannot dominate my life nor who I am.
I'm thankful that I am alive today. I have a son. Maybe I will never have anymore children. I have Aaron, whom is wonderful. I have a special talent with words. I plan to pursue this. I have some wonderful friends across this country.... That is a lot more important than the negativity reflected at this job and the gossip mongers who have nothing more to do...So today, I am taking time to thank those who love me... Just for me.

Aaron... What can I say that really describes all I feel for you. We've been thru so much together and here we are. I truly believe u are IT for me. You're My umbrella in the rain... my shade in sun. I love loving you... and I appreciate all you do! You're my best friend in every shape of the words... thru all of our tears.. laughter... pain and triumph it's always just me and you. Forever.


MarQuin... My Son.. Whom I love more than words can express. Sometimes I'm mean to you or hard on you. It's only because I'm scared for you. I know what's out there and I want to protect you, but I also know that you are MY CHILD... with that comes a deep knowledge of COMMON SENSE. All I can do is love you and guide you.



Nakia... You're such a good person. You always help me see the REAL PICTURE. I love you. And I'm glad that you're my friend.


Dee- Dee .... Girl, You're a blessing in disguise. Full of knowledge and compassion. When I think of you... I think of an Intelligent, Stylish... Sophistacated Black Carrie Bradshaw.. LOL J/K. You're the whole package!! You're knight and shining armor is out there... he's just lost... it's a big world! I love you girl. Thanks for the great advice and just being you....



Mr Teej... My sweet baby boy.... What can I say? It's because of you that I even have this blog. You introduced me to this therapeutic paradise. You're one of the most honest, caring men I've ever met!! Thank you for the late nite talks ((smile)) and the constant laughter that you provide in my life. You're such a special friend!!!



Willie... You are very special to me because we are so much alike in so many ways. I want u to know even though we have our moments... I still love you like a lil brother and I WILL always be here if you need me.



Trechelle... For a long time it was you and I against the world. We've been there thru each other's worst tragedies. I love u like a sister and to me you are MY SISTER. I wish you the best in life and although I don't always agree with your life choices I have your back.. No Matter what!





Saraan.. You've been with me since the begining and you're still here. You've watched me grow from a little girl into a grown woman holding down my own. I thank you for remaining one of my oldest, truest friends. We're family for life!


I had to come back and add someone... Last BUT not least....


Jo-Joe... Wow. So much to summarize in 4 yrs of knowing you. I love you like noother. We will forever be joined b/c we are one in the same, we understand each other. You know secrets that no one else knows. Although our friendship has gone thru loops of fire.. we're still here. I understand NOW why u had to walk away. It was your only option. I appreciate you for that. It allowed me to evaluate myself and learn to love me. I'm grateful for all the memories we've made and hopefully... somewhere down the road... You and I will be Reese & Joe again. Good-bye.. I will miss you when I leave, but I'm not worried.. You know how to find me.



And to all my blog buddies... Brea, Princess.. Anonymous.. Stac & Everyone else... I love ya'll too. Your prayers... words.. advice and presence in my life has enriched my soul. Thank you.
