OMG…. Can I tell you that today has been like a dream that I thought would never happen!!! Well to begin with, I started my new job today… YES, If I hadn't mentioned it before, I got a job, working back in Retail Management, making twice what I was when I was working for the temporary services… The people there are real people, with real problems, some I'm sure are gonna be a real pain in the ole' buttocks…. BUT, I'm reminded it's not them I'm working on, it's ME… My outlook is picking up and I feel like I could touch the stars….

Just about a year ago, I met this guy, well, to be honest, we were both drinking, had more than just a few and one thing lead to another and boom, instant mashed potatoes…

Tonight, I had a man text me after I got off work, to which I responded, and he asked me out to dinner and I accepted… Tonight, neither one of us were drinking or ran home to have sex… While I can't say that I wasn't temped, he was very much of a gentleman… We did have wonderful conversations about the past weekend, the events of the day, good things happening in his life and the celebrations in my life… He took me back to his place where we met, congratulated me on my new job and kissed me good night… I know, no matter where this relationship goes, this man will FOREVER BE MY BEST FRIEND…

There's many of you who know exactly what I mean when I say, it's not every day that someone this SPECIAL comes into your life, and this is one of those very rare men… He was very honest, he's been dating someone yet saw something special in me and my heart's desire is that he finds the happiness that he deserves… Oh, I know he'll always from here on, we'll be a very special part of one another's lives, but that doesn't mean that we'll ever date… When someone this SPECIAL touches your heart, you'll know it… This guy that he likes is one very lucky man… I hope that his eyes and heart are open and allows this man to join their lives together and bloom… And even if he doesn't realize just how special he is, he'll not be single long… Good men like him never are…

Some people are meant to be BEST FRIENDS and I'd not do anything to ruin what I have with him…. He's been supportive of me when my family has trashed me and made me their rumor mill… Well, not so much my family, just my one sister that in her drunken states, when she drunk enough to call, I try and uplift her by telling her that she has a good life and not to be so down on herself, and I made the mistake of telling her that I had discovered that I was HIV+, to which she's taken it upon herself to call my parents and her daughters, and GOD only knows who else, to tell them of her latest gossip… And she's angry at her daughter calling her a "Clampet" from the Beverly Hillbillies, because she's gotten pregnant by the man she married at the age of 16, married by 18, divorced by 19, and pregnant again by 21… So, any new gossip to her is NEWS to tell… Especially if it would hurt my parents….

I've seen the man I went to dinner with tonight go through THICK and THIN for his friends… There's NOTHING he wouldn't do for them… So, yes, he'll forever be a VERY VITAL PART OF MY FAMILY…. I THANK GOD FOR BRINGING HIM INTO MY LIFE…

I'm not sure what happened to either one of those two people who met over a year ago… However, after meeting the MAN I met tonight, My life will NEVER be the same…

God, Thank You for answering my prayers…
