GMH

So I have a slightly embarassing confession to make... I love the website GMH (Gives Me Hope) and also LGMH (Love Gives Me Hope). For a fairly manly, well, man that is somewhat hard to say out loud (or via keyboard as it may be). My emotions can get the better of me sometimes and some of the stories posted on those wonderful sites seriously tug at the old heartstrings. And yes, there have been several stories to bring moisture to my eyeballs... they are just so sweet. I have never advertised myself as a hardened, emotionless being but I have also never admitted my emotional side either. So with that in mind it may come as a bit of a surprise that it is not just these sites that can get to the core of my masculine heart. Other things that have too would include: A Walk to Remember, Old Yeller, and Marley and Me. Sometimes I'm not sure if I avoid some chick-flicks because they are girly or because I'm afraid my emotions would make an unwanted appearance. Curse such heartwarming things.

What was the purpose of this post? I'm not too sure. I guess I just decided not to hide from it anymore. There are somethings in life that are so tender and sweet and adorable that could even make the manliest man at least get teary-eyed and I am no exception. So please do not exploit this new knowledge you have acquired to get me emotional... that just wouldn't be cool. Thank you.

P.S. - give those sites a looksy and you will see what I mean... they are so, dare I say cute?
