Day 9

I have often told people how my view on relationships resembles a sandbox. I am a believer that at the end of life you will have the opportunity to have a certain number of people in your sandbox playing with you. These other people are the ones who have stuck with you through it all and are the most close to you. Sand is a messy, dirty thing. Sand is fun while you are in it, but once you get out it sticks to you and you find it in your clothes, shoes in between your toes and so on. Relationships are a lot like that. I want to play in my sandbox with people who aren't affraid to get dirty. I want people who are going to stick to me and I to them. I want relationships that at the end of our time are still there in the same box together. It doesn't have to be a lot of people in my sandbox, just the right ones.

Today I am thankful for the few people who are in my sandbox.
