-Good Coffee, a Better Conversation, and In The Best Company-

There aren't many things that I can actually name that are better than being pleasantly surprised by someone you thought you knew, but actually did not know enough. We interact with thousands of people daily, yet never even imagine just how little you know them, and just how much you can learn from them.

Little things can take a whole new meaning when surrounded by the right people. A cup of coffee for example, a smile or even sharing past experiences can be so much better when you are in the right company, sharing thoughts and even fears with someone who really does understand. The right person at the right time can make a world of a difference.

I have only known so many people in my life that I truly admire for their courage and determination. Today I have added a new name to that list. And that name today feels so different when it comes to mind. You, and only You know who you are. And through these words, I intend to say: you are stronger than I ever thought, you are so much smarter than I thought, you are so much more determined than I thought, and yet, you are so much simpler than I thought.

To that special person, only these words I offer you: Your courage has astonished me and your honesty has delighted me. What more can I say but thank you for the beggining of true friendship.
