The church celebrates All Saint Day today... In church, the priest spoke about seeing "saints" in the people around us - it occurred to me that I have lots of "saints" living around me...

My gal friends who are always with me no matter what happens. We need not meet every other week but when we do, the bond is always there. They were with me during the lowest point in my life, they were there during the break-ups, the celebrations, the excitments... I sometimes receive little gifts and encouragement at the most unexpected time from them, they were there to support and listen, to share their points - always honest and direct. No string attached and no returned favours expected.

My Dearie, he is a darling in all aspects. I know that when I am all tired and need someone there to listen and to talk to, he is always there. He has become a pillar of support & strength. He is always so willing and forthcoming in helping others.. may it be pouring a drink, cooking or washing for me, "entertaining" Jaz or helping his friends with their projects and schoolwork. He is always so ready to give up his own comfort and time...

Will have to focus more on people's strength and goodness than allow their weakness and not-so-nice deeds to overshadow that.. and I hope I am also "saintly"...
