Welcome Autumn
People think it's just me being me when I groan at the start of every Summer. It's not me, I hate Summer and everything it brings in my life. But that's pretty much over now and if ever there was a message of Karma sent, it was today. I know, makes no sense. Makes sense to me.
Today and tonight were truly a gift. I haven't had a 24 hour period like this in a long time. It's so very rare that everything goes right and everything is beyond expectation. Tonight when I finally succumb to sleep it will be with a smile and an appreciation for today and tonight.
It started with the telethon. This year's telethon really really touched something in me. Seeing all the people so committed, it did something to me. There are so many things people can do over the year, I really want to get something going and go and present a check next year. It renewed my faith in the human spirit and learning of the Summer camp and the no charge factor blew me away. I went to Summer camp for 10 years, it's a great experience. It showed me the power of caring.
Then tonight two friends returned to me. Not casual friends, two very dear and very special friends I have missed dearly. The voids left by both of them were not filled, these are two that are not replaceable. I don't know what stroke of mojo brought them both back on the same night but that's how it happened and I am completely blown away and humbled.
There are some people in the world who in a lifetime don't find the number of true friends I can say I have. It doesn't matter if a year or even two goes by without talking, the minute they walk through the door it's as though they never left and the trust/faith/admiration/love is there, strong as ever. How blessed I am to be surrounded by these sorts of people and to have two more come back into my world.
Top that off with Bug doing a Hell of a job on her first show. It finally sunk in how awesome the station is. The skins of doubt and regret are shed, that crap went out with Summer. I have finally allowed myself to sit back and pat myself on the back for this. To have so many people interested in doing shows. So many people encouraging me and telling me how much they like it. To learn of so many new people from Waterdeep I didn't really know before through listening to the station, it's overwhelming.
It's truly overwhelming. I thought it would be fun and maybe catch on a bit but the response has been so much more than I could have hoped for. I can't express my gratitude loud enough to everyone who is a part, will be a part, all of you.
Sometimes I forget how lucky I am and get caught up in the small shit, the small people. I couldn't have asked for a more affirming sign than today.
I am one lucky Kittyn and to everyone who is a part of my world - online and off, I say thank you.
Welcome, Autumn.

You talking about friends coming back makes me sad coz I’ve been trying to get back in touch with my best bud from school but, for some reason unknown to me, he won’t return my emails. :( I’m glad you;re feeling so positive about life! It cheers me up too!

I love it when fall is in the air. I think I immediately relax and de-stress with that first whiff of special autumn air.
I’m so glad you’ve had a good day~it was long overdue for you!

I’m kind of happy summer is over too. I haven’t been around to visit anyone’s blog so I’ll have to catch up and see what’s been happening to you. I had no idea you had a radio station either. I’ve been doing internet radio for over three years. Need a dj? I got skillz...lol.
I’ll have to tune in.
I’m so glad that you had some good karma. Send some my way...please.
