Twenty Sentences

After reading Saviabella's "20 Sentences" entry, I told her I was going to copy her, and do my own. And I did. The basic idea is to write twenty sentences about twenty different people, not mentioning what sentence is about what person. This little exercise really got me thinking about all the wonderful, and not so wonderful people, I have encountered in my life. Although I couldn't write a sentence for all of them, I was reminded that their actions have affected me in some way, at some point in my life, and I hope that I affected them in some way as well. I am grateful for all of the people I have met in my journey, and it was nice to take the time to reflect on that.

I know you are just looking out for me, but sometimes, I need you to mind your own business.

Even on my worst days, a smile, a hug or even a high-five from you can cheer me up almost instantly.
