Ah….it is late and I am soon to bed and rise again much too early. I have had a glorious day. I do feel like in every hour there were some heavenly blessings. I started the day by reading in bed before meeting a colleague to discuss some fundraising plans. Just prior to leaving to meet her, I received an email related to the fundraising efforts from someone that evolved throughout the day with a surprising but happy ending due to small world connections. My colleague and I sat outside and enjoyed a healthy brunch in the sun. My first outdoor eating experience here on the strip this spring I think. So good to be able to bask in the warmth of the weather!
I had a telephone chat with my brother about my upcoming visit to him next month and a few other things. A friend from church called to chat for a bit. Another friend had invited me out to her country home for supper and a hot tub. It was such a great evening. We walked for a bit before supper and I brought my camera along to shoot some photos in case we came across something interesting. This Ukrainian Catholic Church caught my eye.
We had a fabulous evening. She is one of my dearest friends and I love her even though we don’t see each other often--this relationship is more about quality than quantity. I am so grateful for her and our journey together. Our conversations are always rich and deep. I walk away feeling healed of something I did not even recognize was broken.
We sat in the hot tub, chatting but listening to the sound of frogs come alive as the sun disappeared. I did not stay for the coyote songs but perhaps another time. A near-full moon guided me home and now I go to bed with a gratitude that my heart rejoices in these moments.
Peace,
Suzanne
