I have the best friends on the planet. It has been a goal of mine to surround myself with individuals smarter than I am. I am more like Pooh than Einstein, but I am savvy enough to know it.
Today, I said goodbye (see previous blog) to Carrie and Torin. Smart, sharp, organized, brilliant.....they are moving to a new location and new job. I was so struck by how I was not sad. I was not sad....why the heck not? My bagel buddy would not be in town. My stalwart truth teller would be emails away. How could I not be sad? Well, because I was too busy being grateful and full of love.
Awww, you say.
No. Really. Grateful for powerful friends. Grateful for the impact they will have on a new church, an old denomination, a dawning day for religio-spirituality. Big impact. Like a meteor. And now I have a nifty place to visit for long weekends.
So later in the day.....another good friend stopped by. She is vim and vigor personified. 'Nuff said.
So, later after that......my long time friend who lives 5 hours away sent emails as she wrote soul stirring prose for publication about suffering, lent, and a four-legged 3 pronged clay thing that represent her family. (go to catapult.com for her soon to be printed article)
Grateful. Grateful. Grateful. I am.
