This week I pause to reflect on a great week of vacation. I spent most of the week visiting with friends. Being away from the normal day-to-day routine has been a very relaxing experience for me. Not worrying about whether the house is selling, whether I have cleaned out the litter box or not, if the bills have been paid, if I have my prospect lists turned in at work or any of another million other things I could find to worry about.
I’m so grateful for the time I spent with Lee and Jane in Kentucky, and the time that Lee, Jane, Denise and I all had at Holiday World. I’m grateful for the bond we share. I was reminded over and over this week at just how special friendship is. Having people who really care about me is just such a blessing. As I was making my way home, I had lunch in Nashville on Wednesday with my closest friend from high school, and spent the evening with a new friend of mine in Huntsville. Then, I made my way back home yesterday and have had a relaxing couple of days. Today I had lunch with a couple of friends, Truvy and Terrance.
Here’s my confession: The week has provided me a lot of time for reflection. I’m looking forward to a future full of hopes and dreams. As I’ve reflected on where I am and where I’m going, I am so grateful for the journey that has brought me this far. I am most grateful for the people who are in my life-people who will listen to me and my tired old stories over and over, people who will give me sound advice, people who care about me more deeply than I’ll perhaps ever realize. I am absolutely, completely, totally blessed beyond all measure. And, when I consider all that, a smile comes across my face.
