Day 3,296

Growth:

As someone close to us once said about coming over for supper, they thought to themselves, “I know I’ll enjoy my time with Mike and Becky, but I’d rather stay home alone.” By the time they admitted this to us they said they were glad they’d come over, it was so much more enjoyable and satisfying.

Their moment of honesty has stuck with me as I’ve caught myself thinking similar thoughts from time to time. As this friend learned, I’m usually walking away very appreciative for the opportunity.

Appreciation:

Becky and I enjoyed our evening of camping and hit the trail early this morning. Waking up in a camper, enjoying a cup of coffee in the woods, and then hitting the trails early…. and doing it all with Becky…. Perfect way to start a morning!

Presence:

At the wedding reception we attended this evening there was a sublime moment of levity.

As the new groom started to thank everyone for coming he said, “My wife and I…”

He then giggled and squealed, “You’re my wife!!!” and proceeded to laugh with the utmost joy in the moment of realization of what had just happened.

Pure magic for the soul!!

Thanks!!!
