Nobody but you thinks you were sniveling or self-congratulating. <br /><br />You did something nice for a lady who deserved it, with whom you had an earlier emotional connection. <br /><br />Then you got lucky because you got out of the way of two random asshole drivers. <br /><br />The two are not connected except that you were part of both. I'm glad you were not banged up in a car wreck. That would have sucked.John M.

Let's just blame it on the sleepy and Sancerre! Thanks for the bite in the ass, needed and noted. Hugs to you and I was checking out your blog again this morning, (and why have I not put you on my blogroll yet?) and your pictures give me goose bumps Lady.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-79388117637534496342010-12-19T09:45:03.294-08:002010-12-19T09:45:03.294-08:00Of course it was a compliment!

You're still looking at the post from the inside - but from the outside, a few states away, it's a poignant reflection of serendipity and a little bit of grace found where sometimes it seems lost. Seriously - one slow tear (and WTF?!).

Was not the point, not at all. I was being greedy in a way, I wanted to be a part of such a celebration in any way I could...just turns out that making a donation of sorts was the only real way for me to do so. The point being that it made me feel good, included and like I was giving back a little to someone that has, in her own way, given me so much. There I said it, I don't like the post but I adore you all for your comments about it.<br /><br />Marcia,<br />You keep calling me a good storyteller and I might just fall in love with you too. Ask our HoseMaster what a nightmare that can truly be. Thank you lady, thanks for everything.<br /><br />Thomas,<br />I absolutely believe in random, matter of fact I believe in it just as much as I believe in fate. Might be a cop out but I have room in my hope and heart for both...but bottom line, just gotta go with being as good and honest a person as I can and keep my fingers crossed that either random or fate will reward me with love and acceptance. Oh fuck that sounds so goddamn cheery...ugh.<br /><br />webb,<br />And if you tell anyone I will be forced to pinch you real hard! Gotta keep up my hard as nails act you know. You are too sweet...just kills me.<br /><br />Ron My Love,<br />That car thing just wigged me out and I was seriously jittery for a good hour after....too close. There was no moral to the story Love, just sharing my silly shit. God I hope The Lady of Chablis doesn't read this one....didn't even think of that! Fuck. As I have said to you a million times before, meeting you, knowing you, being as close to you as I am is simply one of the greatest things that has happened to me, ever. Great loves come around so rarely in life, blogging brought me one of mine. I love you. Oh and for the record, Nouveau Beaujolais couldn't kill a piss shiver....Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-45179944655693126892010-12-18T17:48:01.560-08:002010-12-18T17:48:01.560-08:00My Gorgeous Samantha,

Oh, if only life were that quick to pay off at the Win window, we'd all be a lot more willing to perform random acts of kindness. <br /><br />The moral of the story? Beaujolais can save lives! Except Nouveau, which can kill an ox.<br /><br />And I wonder what your Lady of Chablis will say next time after she reads this post...<br /><br />I love you!Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-23457937561464141522010-12-18T17:44:23.645-08:002010-12-18T17:44:23.645-08:00You're a good woman, Sam, with a big heart.You're a good woman, Sam, with a big heart.webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-73852698777455567162010-12-18T13:50:50.184-08:002010-12-18T13:50:50.184-08:00Ah yes, the random of it all...

Indeed you have a bevy of angels watching out for you, as the recounting of Asshole Driver #1 seems frighteningly familiar. (Although blessedly I haven't been in that proximity of a vehicular close encounter, I can only imagine your heart jumped up into your throat in a flash as the vehicles merged in the same space at the same time.)<br /><br />Juxtaposed with your lovely story about a new visit from the Lady of Chablis, it was all stunning. And so beautifully recounted. You have quite the gift for fine storytelling (which is why we tune in).<br /><br />Best to you and yours this holiday season! (And watch the roads! Gonna be slick the next week on our coast.)<br />~ MarciaMarcia Macomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237764449953259939noreply@blogger.com
