There are quite a few people in my life who I feel like lean on me for advice, support, and just to listen to them. On any given day I have numerous issues and problems that I listen to with love and compassion and give honest truthful feed back. Sometimes this can be very stressful for me. I not only have my problems to handle but I try to handle problems for them too. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't change that for the world. It makes me feel good that so many trust me enough to turn to me for these things. I am astonished sometimes that I can always seem to find the right thing to say in those moments. Maybe they only need to hear a kind word or to know someone cares about them. I happily fill that need for them.
Anyway...last night was really busy for me. I had to go shopping for a graduation gift for Heather. I had some inspiration yesterday while at work and I am making something for her. I wanted it to be more personal than just money or a purchased gift. It will take me some time but if it comes together like I see it in my head it will be beautiful. Wish me luck. I also had to go grocery shopping and I did pretty good. It's so amazing going shopping without Joe. I can take my time and really plan for the week. Plus I only spent $55.00 wow...that never happens. Then we had to clean our apartment...it was to point where it was getting on my nerves. Lewis, Ashley and Aiden are coming today to stay with us for a few days. Heather and Tom's place is going to be packed with her graduation guests so they are staying with us. It should be fun, I really enjoy having company. When I was a kid I loved when our family came to stay with us. It's a change of pace from our normal routines.

You are good at listening and saying just the right thing. (your blog comment made me feel better!) You are a wonderful friend, but it is tough to feel like you are taking on other people's problems as well as your own. You can call me up, e-mail, whatever, anytime YOU need to talk!!
(BTW, I'm jealous that you did so well at the grocery! It is easier when the husband isn't around to distract you!)
