HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! to Kieala's Blog!!!!!!

Not sure if most of you know, but I write a fictional blog entitled, Kieala's Blog for Associated Content. I'm very pleased to announce that this month marks the 1st year anniversary. When I dreamt up this blog I honestly didn't know what to expect. I didn't know if I was going to have followers, if people was going to like it and read it - I just had no idea. But I am very please to say that I do have continual readers who read and I'm getting new readers every day.

Here's an excerpt from my newest posting entitled, "Talking In My Sleep."

Now they say women are the best when it comes to cheating because we know how to hide things and not get caught....they say we only get caught if we want to.

Ok so I'm not actually cheating on Calvin...I'm not sleeping with Mr. Handsome or anything like that. I guess what I'm having is this new term called an "emotional affair." It's what you do with another person, when the one you're with meets some of your needs but isn't there for you emotionally. So you have an emotional affair with some unsuspecting person that comes along and says all the right things to you. You don't mean to do it, but you've tried and tried to tell the one you're with about you needs and they seem to care less about them; therefore you have some one like Mr. Handsome waiting to step in and do what you need him to do...

A Life Stamp Moment...

Yesterday I met a really nice young lady that left a great impression on me. I went to the Sprint store so that I could get a new line and a air time card for my laptop...in the midst of getting this I unintentionally spilled out my personal issues on this young lady. But she was so kind to listen and even offered a listening ear if ever I needed to talk. In the interim we found out that we had a few things in common...both married, been married the same amount of years, both the same age...

Upon the advice of a wise older friend, she suggested that I give the young lady a thank you card. And I did. I appreciated her genuine concern. Also I didn't realize just how much I needed to talk to a "girl-friend"....I bring all of this up because just when you think that this world is full of selfish, unruly, simple-minded people, God allow you to meet someone to show you that there's still hope.

What I experience yesterday reminds me of a movie....a tale of two friends who meet in a very unassuming way and end up being friends for years...

Friendships are a lot like a dating relationship or marriage...when you first meet a person you have no idea what lies ahead, but if they last, you look up and say, "Wow!!! I remember how we met!" But also they take a lot of work if you're going to hold on to them forever. Which also convicts me because I have a friendship that need to be patched up even as we speak...but when you can't find the words...days go by and you say nothing...

Do I have a real point in today's blog???? Not really, but I just wanted to share it, because like I said, it really made an impression on me. I wasn't looking for it - I simply was going in there to handle business, but came out with an life stamp.

What is a life stamp you ask? It's an event or situation that will be in your long term memory that you won't forget.
