something to look forward to.

"Why did you do all this for me?" he asked. "I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you.'
You have been my friend,' replied Charlotte. 'That in itself is a tremendous thing."

i have something to look forward to. i actually have something(s). so i count myself lucky today. tomorrow my darling dear, trisha marie, will make a voyage past the mason-dixon. indiana to alabama. i can't even believe it really. i don't know why because she has done it several times. but, i think it's mostly because i have such a hard time traveling "up" to see her. if i just get one second to squeeze her neck i will be satisfied. she's the type of friend that doesn't require maintenance past what i can give. love is enough. i appreciate that about her. she was my very first friend from college, and i am confident that we will always remain.

where there is love {of a friend}, 

there is art.
