We Interrupt this Blog…
by Kym on May 25, 2007
…for a brief announcement.
I am loved!
I don’t know when it snuck up on me, but it’s true. I actually have…gasp…friends. I’m starting to believe they like me for me, and not for the fact that I make awesome cookies.
I went to a playgroup today that I hadn’t attended in over a month. And an acquaintance on the verge of becoming a friend ran up to me and gave me a big hug! And squeezed my hands after, and told me, with apparent sincerity, how much she’d missed me.
I got an e-mail from an old friend I reconnected with on facebook today. The subject line was; “I love your e-mails!” I hadn’t heard from her in ages and thought I was getting the brush off. But she wrote me this huge long e-mail that makes it really hard to think she’s “just being nice.”
I’ve been getting good mail from great people, and that makes me feel loved.
I went square dancing with my husband tonight, and he kissed my hand several times in a sweet tender way, and I felt sooooo loved.
It’s not like anything extraordinary has happened. My life is plodding along in the same was as usual. What’s unusual is that I’m recognizing that I’m not the shy, antisocial/shunned person I used to be.
I’m loved!
And now, as that lovely corny phrase expresses so well, it’s time to “Share the Love!”
Comment Love. E-mail Love. Phone Call Love. Good Mail Love.
It’s all about the love!

Well I love you..so if you doubted it…you can stop.
Feel the love!
Feel the love!
However, as much as I love you…I promised myself I’d never get anyone’s name tattooed on my butt or anything so I have to draw the line there okay?

Well I am glad you came to your senses to realize that you are loved by me and many the world over! What would we do without our favorite Kim?
Next time you THINK you are feeling the shaft, pull up this post and let reality sink in.
Kim. is. loved. She. has. lots. of. love. coming. her. way.
Feel. the. love!!!
Can’t you feel the love tonight? (Lion King anyone?)

don’t take this the wrong way,, but you are such a freak!
You were never shunned back in my Vancouver days – we forced you to participate, often against your will!!
I understand the feeling though. Isolation is not good for our emotional health, whether it is geographic, or psychological. It’s always nice to get that “I’m appreciated” feeling!

I’ve always thought you were totally hot.
So there.

You made me feel loved when you stopped by my blog and said we might be kindred spirits. That doesn’t seem shy at all, does it? Since then I have had the most fun getting to know you through your blog. Love it and love you.

I would notice if you didn’t post everyday.

A nice reminder every once in awhile of just how much you are loved is great!

WHAT??? You’re LOVED?
I don’t know if we can be friends anymore. I usually only like the misfits, the renegades, the runts.
(And, of course, what I mean by all of that is, OF COURSE YOU’RE LOVED!!! We all love you, anyway!)
