I do that all the time including some things I just did within the last 10 minutes to help some people with several fundraising events.

Sounds like youre living well.

Last night I removed a large caterpillar from my tomato plant. I moved him over to the strawberries. Then, when I was atering the strawberries, I moved him up into the peach tree. I hope he turns out to be an awesome butterfly.

On second thought, if things of that nature count maybe I am that good. Perhaps I'm thinking on too grandiose of a scale. Then again, I happily swat flies when they're bugging the heck out of me, too. :hmm: I guess if I do something good I don't think of it in terms of being repaid or not. I just do it because it seems like the right or best thing to do and then I move on.

.......stood at the end of a long hallway at the end of a long day while an amazingly beautiful little girl runs toward you giggling and shouting "Daddy!" I feel like I grow 6" every time it happens. And when she hugs and kisses me and says "Daddy I missed you ALL DAY!" I can't even explain to you how that feels. And just when I think it's as good as it can possibly get, her 19 month old sister comes around the corner and I get the same treatment all over again (only the words aren't quite as clear).

But wait. If you act now, I'll throw in for free the best part. Their hot redneck mama grabs me by the back of the head and lays one one me. "Hey baby."

Almost every day I just have to sit in the floor with them for a minute and soak it all in.

Bliss. Pure bliss.

(Now, back to my homework I will probably be doing until midnight or later. Reality check much?)

I have bared my soul to a couple of people. With their permission I told them all my deepest secrets that I was never going to tell anyone. Some of these people still love me unconditionally. That realization is amazing.
I was terrified the first time I did it. It was a 5th step in a 12 step program. I was terrified. The guy who was listening fell asleep. Then I was pissed. Here I am revealing all my deep dark secrets and you fall asleep?
Now I think it is pretty funny.

Now THAT is truly something to strive for. I'd like to feel that I've done some good along those lines.

The thing that would truly make me fill that I lived would be knowing what it truly means to be in love with someone. Sure I love my parents, my brothers and my friends but to me (and maybe I'm wrong) there's differant degrees's of "feelings" of love towards all mentioned. So far I think the strongest and deepest love I've ever felt in my life (and still feel) has been towards my son. He's now 30, but I can still still feel that real love when I held him for the first time. It was the most incredable feeling I've ever felt and I still feel that way towards him.

Relationships on the other hand....I don't know if I've ever experienced that real love and wonder if I ever will. Truth is I've been alone for so long now that I wonder if I'm even capable of that emotion.

Baring my soul a bit here.
