I'm so glad you said that!  I always wondered if it was good or bad to be so much alike.  It's so easy to be together, so natural.  Like we've been doing it for 100 years or something.  I hear people say....oh, it didn't work because we were too much alike....and I always wondered what that meant.  It seems to be a good thing for us.  It made me feel good to hear that from you, thanks.

daisysface....well, your comment really applies to you now...
Since you wrote this you've given birth to Chase....I left you messages, but I know you're busy, so when things lighten up you'll call me and I'll get up there when I can.  Congratulations!

I'm going to skip you Jimmy because now we know we were playin...
And the city was my city....but we won't talk about what you didn't want to miss out on while waiting to see how it all turned out. ;)  Or, what distracted you from studying....or...or....

Rach, he really is awesome....kinda scary....

Struggle is part of life, especially one self-examined, but it is nice to have someone in your corner.  It's not something I'm used to and I resist a little, but he's amazing about it.  I think that we would always be able to be friends no matter what, because we are both that kind of person.  Stay tuned.... ;)

Yeah, D....now we know is Jimmy....is pretty good, you could say.  We text all the time, but he loves to talk on the phone.  That's a good thing for a long distance relationship.  I know it's not your favorite thing, which is kind of a problem when living on different continents. ;)

I'm glad you are liking the new...."storyline"....for lack of a better way to say it.  I think you are a sucker for a good love story. :)  I usually know that I am one step away from falling on my face because that's how I got here....all was well, then came the accident.  Things can change at any moment, in any way.  That's why savoring the details is even more important. Hope all is well with you, haven't done any reading lately....sorry about that...take care of yourself.

Cass, I know you are always there for me, smilling....
And ready to talk when I need you.  You've become a dear friend and soul sister.  It's been wonderful to share this with you.  Thank you. :)  Thank you for also always being so happy to read me, it motivates me.

Learning to live life in the details took me a long time, but I consider it a blessing as well.  Thank you for reading.

Jimmy....when you wrote this, we were still hiding....
But the sentiment is totally on the money.  This is how I live with you...to enjoy all the moments I can, even though I am scared or struggle with that which is new.  And you know me well enough to know that I always jump when the opportunity presents itself. :)

beautiful contemplative post, Temple
and may I add that my husband and I are the same in a lot of ways, it's something we laugh about, "we're just the same", and it is never....ever...boring. HOw thrilling for you and D! Enjoy!

Wow.

He sounds awesome.  You sound awesome together.  I do hope things work out, but mostly, I hope you guys stay friends. 

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling, but am glad you have found a soft place to fall with D.

and might I add, text messaging is a great alternative to actually
talking on the phone, at least for someone like me;-)

This is like one of those posts which first drew me to you. All of us move along the edge of a precipice but some don't know how close they are. I feell this particularly at the moment

I smile when I read your work, sometimes the smile is happy, sometimes knowing, sometimes sad; but its always there for you...

Temple,
Good thing you know how to nurture yourself, enjoy the smallest details, and savor them, as well as how to appreciate D.

oh my...

sounds like things are scary for you right now Temple, I can relate to that...and to the feeling of promise as well... Life is best when it's scary like that, and like you say, experiences are to be grabbed, lived, savored, in the moment.  Best to cherish what you have in the moment and take the chance...
