Reviewing one's mission statement



Blue Salt


What is it that makes you feel alive?

This is Adam. Adam makes life worth waking up for. See the necklace that I am wearing? Adam gave that to me. Ironically we bought the chain for that pendant on the same day as my engagement ring was bought... but that is another story. The pendant is a heart made of amber, purchased during Adam's last week in Russia. His mom told him to wait and give the heart to someone who could take care of it, or something along those lines. And when Adam gave this to me, I felt a responsibility more precious than life. Each day I wear a symbol of Adam's love for me, and each day I love him back.

Hi Lily! You don't know me, but I am a good friend of Adam's, and I am so glad he found someone like you. I can tell you two make each other very happy, and that makes me happy :) I look forward to meeting you one of these days!

Lily, that is the sweetest thing I have seen all week. And I've seen some pretty sweet things!

It's so crazy to me that we're both older and so different than those girls we were back in Saddleback. I love this outspoken and exciting side of you. Good job.
