new_start

She’s so warm and insightful. I love her need to make sense of things, to really think about what’s going on in her life. And her love of God and faith in him inspires me…

We want to e-mail back and forth. It is nice to have faraway friends to discuss things with and to care.

Because she touched my life over a year ago in a very simple, innocent and unexpected way, that changed me forever.

(And I have to tell her who I was, at that time, since I wasn’t new_start!).

She feels like my ‘mystery friend’.

It’s like we have ‘met’, but barely.

It’s an interesting dynamic. A very unspoken tie.

I feel that we have so much in common, too!
She has a way to write very clear and thougtfull. Her entries touch me in some deep level. I would like to meet her in person! It feels that we would have lots to say to each other…

We have so much in common (or have shared similar experiences in our own unique ways)!

But she has more ‘figured out’ and seems more at peace with it.

And I’m very happy for her for that!

Just because. She’s awesome!

(She also shows me the whole other side of life… (ENFP is my ‘mirror’)).

Well… we already did ‘meet’ (that is, in terms of 43things only), but then she was absent for a long period, and then I closed my former account.

I’m not sure that ihaveneatstuff will even know who new_start is!

While Doris and I met ‘here’ over a year ago, we’ve finally now met in person! And she was just as wonderful as I always knew she would be! And both Hanalee and Sean were such a pleasure to meet as well. I feel so blessed. It is unfortunate that I was in town for such a short time, as I was somewhat distracted during our time together, as it took place during Ironman Arizona while I was on the lookout for my dad and brother. But Doris fully understood this, and our short time together was still special. We are fortunate it worked out… we came close to not finding each other, as I did not realize there were two ASU stadiums side by side!

I hope we have the chance to meet again someday!
