I am not one to, or one who, ever ran around in a crowd. I was mostly a loner who was particular in who I chose to be around.

I received a happy belated Birthday card with a token of money this past week from someone who was determined to show their regard.

They had told me my card was on the way last month before my birthday had arrived.

I told them not to worry, that there is no rush, and to take their time as well as with the other things in their life.

We all may go through periods of not getting to something done or intended to toward a specific time frame for whatever reason.

I also added that anyone can give someone a card or material possession that really means nothing. What really counts is when things come from the heart.

When people care about you, give of themselves- spend quality time talking with you, or being there for you if there is ever a time you may need them, truly believing in you, encouraging you and having your back when a moment calls for it.

People who are like this and do these things because they like, love, or appreciate you- not because they feel they must or should react or respond that way, but because they really want to- shows a true friend or person that is genuinely in one’s corner.

This person I speak of has known me literally for all my life and is a real person.

We even share a lot in common such as writing, having spiritual abilities, and so on.

She is a very smart person too who is on the level just like me.

I was always lucky to have, and be blessed with, certain people in my life.

We are more like family than friends.
