This week is flying by. I have been in a conference since Tuesday night. We have one more day--an annual general meeting and then we end with a banquet and auction. The meetings have been good. One of the presentations was with a woman who works with interpreters around the world. I think sometimes I would like to do that. I have fond memories of my time in Burundi. I ran into that speaker at one point during the conference and she recommended that I pursue more of that dream.
What has been the real blessing though is sharing my room with friends and seeing colleagues who over the past three decades have become more than just work mates. The photo is of my roommate who got carded last night at the football game. We had a good laugh late at night once we all got home. The days have been long--up early and out late. I am soon to meet friends and head off to one of the conference organizers' homes. We promise to be back to the dorm at 10 but hard to know what will happen. The meetings that have had the most impact on my life this week are the ones that are not happening in the meeting rooms per se but in the halls, over a drink, or while dining together. I realize how richly blessed I truly am.
peace,
Suzanne
