There Are Angels Among Us!
All right, time for an update!
I am going to Cape Town. My first birthday present arrived a week early. I am now in possession of a plane ticket.
After my disappointment became apparent, friends offered support, sympathy and a plane ticket to Cape Town.
When I got the details this morning confirming my flight on Thursday the only thing I could do for about 5 minutes was stare into space in stunned silence. This is one of the nicest things anyone has done for me. In fact, I am still stunned! I am finding it hard to believe that something so HUGE was done, for me!
We meet so many people and so few of them become friends. I am finding that I like this friendship thing. My only hope is that one day I will be able to repay these people in my life whom I have the honour of calling my friends for the things they do for me.
One recurring question that has come up is “How does Flyboy feel about this?” It’s a fair question in view of the fact that Flyboy has never met Kyk. The little information Flyboy does have about Kyk comes from what I have read to Flyboy from Kyk’s blog and of course, what I told Flyboy when I met with Kyk up in Gauteng. So yes, it is a fair question.
This is how it happened. Flyboy was supposed to go on a hunting trip this week. I asked him if he would have a problem if I went down to Cape Town while he went hunting and the reply was no. Unfortunately the hunting trip was cancelled but Flyboy graciously said I must still go to Cape Town.
So, after a night of anger and disappointment I realise I have many things to be grateful for. At the top of the list is the man in my life and the angels whom I have the privilege of calling my friends. Not because I have received an extravagant gift but because I have people in my life who care about me, no strings attached.
Maybe I spend too much time looking for happiness when it is right in front of me.

Excellent. See? Good things do happen to good people. I'm just not sure if it's you or me. Hey - maybe it's both of us :-)
i agree with Kyk.. good things happen to good people..
I hope you know that i am a very fetching shade of green. Lovely
Will miss you online.
Ooh - just catching up...that was a very very very good vent last night girl. I am IMPRESSED. You had every right to be so angry.
But hey ho - it all came out in the wash..and lucky you can enjoy a bit of decent city living for a while. In Cape Town nogal!

I am so happy for you! Go have a fantastic time.
You will be in such great company, natch!
Smooch,

You lucky fish! Hugs to your angels...
Hope you have a blast!
Kyk: Hm, I don't know if you are lucky because I tend to sharpen my claws on furniture but I definitely consider myself a very lucky girl.
Shutterjane: You will be with me in spirit. :-) Going to miss you online too.
Geena: Thanks girl. I am glad someone was impressed because I think everyone else ran for the hills. You want to come to? Well, get your butt down here.
The Tart: Thanks. Looking forward to the company. :-)
SwissTwist: They are kind of sweet, aren't they.
Maybe I spend too much time looking for happiness when it is right in front of me.
Wisdom indeed. Have a wonderful trip!
