I LOVE this!

My dear friend, hdsqrl came up with a lovely idea which I'm copying.

Here:

If you are reading this, please leave a comment about someone I may not even know. No names are necessary, just leave a note of sorts for the universe to soak up, that says something nice about someone YOU know. It would be good to read happy thoughts about random people, I think. Then put this in your own journal so that it gets passed along; we can all use more positive energy! I'll even go first.

This is what I put in reply to her query:

You are like a sister to me in such a short period of time that we've met. I feel so comfortable with you, ready to laugh or cry, share good times and challenges. You are wise woman indeed, both a pillar of strength and willing to show frailties without fear of showing weakness; that takes a courage I greatly admire.

Thank you for picking it up and running with it! I hadn't figured on it turning into an actual meme, but it makes sense to turn it into one. :)

It occurred to me that we always wish we had told people these sorts of things before it's too late. Well, now, even if it IS too late for some of the people we're thinking about, at least now the thoughts have been expressed and are heard/read by others. And for those for whom it isn't too late? Maybe this will trigger some of us to actually tell our loved ones these sorts of thoughts, and soon. :D

*nods* I started doing that years ago when I realized that some of my folks' friends who were getting up there could probably use a boost. I started saying those nice things in my head when I'd run across them and, well, it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
