Every so often I remember how fortunate I am. Today was filled with reminders of the blessings of my life. In the midst of trying meetings I encountered friend after friend. Despite the time and distance that separates us the friendships remain. In the midst of difficult organizational business there was laughter and joy. There was time to catch up, to tell stories and to reconnect.
Lately I have not been able to find my ground and center. Yesterday I got to spend a blissful three hours with a friend of my heart. We were long overdue for a visit. Then dinner with another friend of my heart. They always help me remember who I am and that I am loved. Sometimes it is hard to remember that there are people in the world who treasure me. They told me again and my center came back. It allowed me to enter meetings that make me cranky. But there were friends there too who greeted me with hugs and smiles. The world is a lovely place tonight as I go to sleep with the memories of the friends who are part of my life. (Sisters, that includes you too!)
