Me, Myself and PDA

When I awoke this morning I had no idea just how nice today was going to be. In fact it’s been a bloody wonderful day! Today, 15th May, is PDA Awareness Day and so I have been busy posting links on Facebook and Twitter trying to spread the word as much as possible – the feedback I’ve been getting has been amazing. From what I hear the Q&A session on the PDA Society’s website has gone down really well, which is great. 😀 Membership to the Adult PDA Support Network is up too. 😀 So all in all PDA Awareness Day 2014 has been a great success and I couldn’t be happier! ❤

In other news I had a Facebook friend request from someone from my past. I was stunned, and still am for that matter, as I was convinced that he would have forgotten me by now as it’s been at least 15 years since we last spoke. 😀 Gareth and I used to be sort of Pen Pals (we met online in about 1996/1997) We used to write letters to each other and save them to floppy discs and post them! (Yes I am that old! ) He was also the first person who ever sent me a valentines card (aww!) In fact we both sent each other one that year because neither of us had ever had one before and nor did we stand a chance of getting one! A sort of pity-valentines if you will! 😀 We were great friends. Even at that young age he had a lot of compassion. I cannot remember why we didn’t keep in touch – I guess it was just another one of those things you don’t think about at the time but come to regret later on. I am delighted that he A. Remembers me, 2. Wants to be friends again and 3. Has no problem whatsoever with the whole PDA thing! 😀 In fact he’s been nothing but compassionate and supportive! Just what the doctor ordered! 😀 We plan to all meet up at some point too which is lovely. We aren’t going to lose touch now. Oh, and the best bit is that he loves planes! Yep, I will now be sandwiched between a plane-loving boyfriend and a plane-loving friend – oh joy! Lol. 😉

Seriously though I don’t think that you can ever have enough friends. Life is too short to spend it alone. I’ve made the decision to only surround myself with people who care and who try to “get me”. I’ve wasted too much time already trying to force relationships because I’m expected to or to just keep the peace – this is my time now. New/old friends – new beginnings! 😀

Paul and I are having a few friends over for a BBQ on Saturday – making the most of this sunshine! 😀 All is right with the world. 😀
