29059 Day 98

super_hero

i don't know much about comic books, or the green lantern* in particular. this is a very helpful link and having read most of the information on it, i think that, of all the comic book characters, this one seems pretty interesting. that aside, amy and i received two rings in the mail today with this note:

"this is probably the oddest Christmas gift you've gotten, but i want you to know that you are heroes to me. and i want you to know that i fight along side of you.

i've given you two rings. steve, the Green one is yours. as a green lantern, you signify Will. you are determined and, especially with what you are facing and taking on, you wear it well.

amy, the Indigo ring is yours and it signifies Compassion. your heart will always lean towards those wounded, those suffering, and your light draws them in."

wow! how encouraging is that. life was spoken in to my soul today in a way that i desperately needed and that is a good, good gift.

thanks =)


*new favorite quote, from alan scott (aka, the green lantern): "I shall shed my light over dark evil, for the dark things cannot stand the light."

Very cool messages and fun gifts. I know a green lantern fan that I suspect may have sent these - very creative!

Wonderful gift...and I strongly agree with the colors/descriptions.

Sweet. Just remember to stay away from the color yellow. Yellow is your enemy.
