[I Have A Dream]

45. We went to have ribs today to celebrate. (Well HE did; I had sides -- no meat for me.)

I had french fries with BBQ sauce though. :D

We thought of you. :hi:

[Metta]

46. Thanks, daddy.

Help yourself. There's a piece with your name on it. Just make sure you get as much as you want.

Sending you and Cheryl big hugs and kisses. :hug:

[laylah]

47. I hope it was a magical

and fun one, Metta!

Jenn

[Metta]

48. Yes, Jenn, thanks.

Thanks for sharing in the fun and magic. :hi:

[I Have A Dream]

49. Just to let everyone know how wonderful Metta is...

I came home from work yesterday and found that Metta had bought me a HUGE piece of rose quartz. I think that it weighs 11 pounds. He even cleaned it and charged it for me.

It's his birthday, and he bought a gift for me. How awesome is that? :loveya:

[Metta]

51. You're part of the abundance, Dream.

You're part of the gift. I'm already sharing that. How can the gift not move on? :loveya: :hug:

[Proud_Lefty]

53. Wow. That about sums it up perfectly.

Dream has given my life abundance in more ways than one. She deserves the best. Metta, I think that's you! :donut:

:pals:

[OneGrassRoot]

55. + a gazillion!!! ;)

Dream and Metta are AMAZING individual souls, and an AMAZING couple!!!!

You both recognize how blessed you are, and radiate those blessings beyond your couplehood (?) in so many ways...ways you're probably not even aware of.

I'm in awe of both of you, and am so honored to be connected in this lifetime...no doubt NOT the first time.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

:loveya:

:grouphug:

[Metta]

58. Hugs for you.

:hug: :hug: :grouphug: :loveya:

[Kind of Blue]

59. What??? They're a couple! This is the loveliest

news I've heard in like forever! It's honestly given me angel bumps. Feel like I just attended a wedding of two very lovely people. :hug: :grouphug:
((((((hug myself))))))

[I Have A Dream]

60. Hi, Blue! I'm sorry that you didn't know. We don't generally...

discuss it much here in the public area for privacy purposes (from people who are not part of this group). The people who know it know just because we've interacted somewhat via PM. Since you and I never have, I never had an opportunity to tell you personally. I certainly would have.

We've been together for about 13 years and have been married for almost 10 years.

:)

[OneGrassRoot]

63. Oh goodness...

only here for a second, but wanted to apologize if there was an "oopsie" involved in my post.

I do try to keep these public interwebs in mind, but this escaped me as my fingers took over to express my appreciation for you both.

Sorry!!!

:hug:

[I Have A Dream]

65. Oh, you didn't do anything, OGR.

I had already connected us with my post about the rose quartz gift that he got me. I consciously made the decision to post about it since it was such a wonderfully sweet thing that he had done. :)

:hug:

[Metta]

68. Not to worry, OGR.

Come here and let me give you a hug. :hug:

[Kind of Blue]

64. Oh, I totally understand and absolutely no need

for apology. I should have been able to read between the lines. I thought isn't that sweet, she took him to lunch and isn't that wonderful, he bought her a present - those two should really hook up :rofl: - if she wasn't married already. But I'm kind of dense that way.

I remember a story about Linda Evans, the actress, and her then husband - shoot, I forget his name - but he was the Greek musician. He said that he felt so special because of her kindness and then later found out that she was exactly like that to EVERYBODY! So that's what I thought, that you and Metta are kind in exactly the same way to everybody. :hug:

It really is a beautiful thing. There's nothing quite like a great love story :hug:

[I Have A Dream]

66. I wouldn't have been able to connect us either, Blue.

Yanni is the name of the musician. That's such a sweet story about them. She does seem as though she's a very kind person.

I'll have to tell you sometime about how we got together. The Universe was involved. :)

Thank you for your extremely kind words. :hug:

[Metta]

69. Yanni.

He's the one.

[Kind of Blue]

72. Thank you! Can't believe I forgot the man's name. n/t

[Metta]

73. Happens to all of us.

At one time or another. No big deal.

[Metta]

67. smiling broadly and expanding emotionally.

You're three sweet. (That's more than too.) :hug: :hi:

[I Have A Dream]

62. No doubt at all, OGR! We've done this before.

Thank you so much for your kind words. You're such a sweetheart.

:hug:

[Metta]

57. Shucks.

:hug: :pals:

[I Have A Dream]

61. Awww...

Thank you, my friend!

:pals:

[Sweet Freedom]

50. Happy birthday to you. /nt

[Metta]

52. Thank you, Sweet Freedom.

Well named, you are. Freedom is the name of our American collective consciousness. You hold aspects of that, for all of us. :hi:

edited upon further reflection.

[Missy Vixen]

70. Happy birthday, Metta!

I'm so sorry that I am late.

I hope this year is the best yet for you. I also hope someone dropped off a fresh latte and donuts for you this morning, too!

Happy Birthday! :party: :woohoo:
