I'm Blessed Beyond Belief And I Know It...
I've got people in my corner that are too damned amazing, and it makes me feel like I have my shit together.
So, in my usual dealings with my usual suspects, I have this team that are my legal representation, my wingman, my editor (grammar nazi), my comic relief/sensitive guy viewpoint, my fatherly viewpoint, and a team of women who believe I could probably kick the ass of a small army if I put my mind to it.
For the record, yes, I could.
Usually, we commiserate on a few things, check in on one another regularly, and ensure that the folk that visit us and have pet emergencies are aware we will help, because it’s something I’m passionate about, and they are too. Usually, we don’t do too much other than talk shit and look after animals. That’s it. That’s the real extent, but these people are just so damned jam up awesome people, it blows my mind.
When I offer my assistance to women in need, I do so in all confidence that if I need help to help someone, I got that. Same thing with all these damned animals that think I’m their mother. I got that, too. All of that is due to my team, who know that if I have to kick in doors and remove women, children, and dogs, I don’t really have the damned good sense not to, but someone has to.
I assist in moving the abused from a hellish locale to one that isn’t. It’s all that I do. Sometimes, I send food, or vet funds, or an Amazon card for some school clothes because a single mom doesn’t have it. That’s the long and short of it. I’m actually pretty damned lazy if you really want the long and short of it. But these people who are on my team, they research, they send funds, they listen and communicate, they sort through the crazy, and they make sure that the priorities come to my attention.
I’m the mouthpiece. Let’s be clear. It’s all I can contribute are these words. Today, though, I just want to honor my team for everything that they do. God knows I’m nothing without them. I love you guys so much, and I don’t think that I tell y’all enough that y’all are the best damned people I know. Please don’t figure out you’re way too good to be hanging with my half sensible ass. Please just keep being this amazing, because I like being y’alls fan.
