someone to love the me that i love

"later that day i got to thinking about relationships. there are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. but the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. and if you find someone to love the you you love,

well, that's just fabulous."

i went to see the sex and the city movie this weekend with three of my very best girlfriends. we were pathetic with our tears and laughter and all the hugging but it was so great. the movie was perfect, and the whole time i just kept thinking about how lucky i am, and how thankful i am for all of the relationships i have and have had in my life. i have a truly amazing set of friends and family - not to mention an amazing husband - who have all taught me, supported me, cried with me, and laughed with me. they have helped me to find out who i am, they have helped me learn to love who i am, and they have all loved the me that i love.
