Speaking of people: Dana (*name has been unaltered to extol the incredible*) is an amazing human being. I was talking (in my last blog) about how certain people take my breath away, in the best way possible, just by being themselves. Dana is the first person that comes to mind. And as unlucky as I feel to know Robyn, I feel ten times more blessed to have Dana in my life. I can't believe it when I realize that I've only known her for less than a year-and-a-half. That's barely any time at all, but it's been enough time for her to change my life profoundly. There's a quote that completely makes me think of her: "You make it easy to watch the world with awe." It's so true. Not only does her poetic outlook on life inspire the way I look at things and at people, but any experience I share with Dana is made memorable and special simply because it's shared with her. To know Dana is to see the compassion, maturity, creativity, integrity, and strength that I strive for daily. Not everyone has the privilege of knowing someone whose very person they marvel at daily. Lucky me! (After whining about Robyn, I decided I'd rather end the day on a positive note.)
