i have the most wonderful friends...

i just recently made the acquaintance of one through the E06 conference being organised by my church. i never thought i would be able to click with someone like her. on the surface it looked like that. but she's just utterly lovely. she's motherly, but with such a protective naivete about her. and it's just such fun exaggerating everything to her just to watch her expression. shocking her is my cheap entertainment of the day.

i admire people who are just soft at heart and so willing to go the extra mile for you, regardless of whether you deserve it or not. i don't think i've reached that level of maturity and self sacrifice. to be sure, it also puts you at risk of being taken advantage of, and served with ingratitude. but to actually laugh at the face of cynicism and take a bold step towards graciousness is to be admired and accorded the accolade of courage it deserves.

i hope these wonderful people rub off on me!

i'm still a chicken and a cynic at heart.
