Stepping stones

Hi, I missed you . Each day you fill  my thoughts as I collect stories to share or ideas to explore but my blogtime, I’m exhausted talk to you  and  fall asleep bloated with too much thought , much of it erased  wit, their events merged so where  to begin.

 

The Conference is over but the pace did not decrease. I wanted to tell you about Liz Murray, a lady of poise and purpose. She passionately articulated  a message of hope which she infused guided her from homelessness to HARVARD.

Sitting  at a table, with complete strangers , I cried as she spoke  as I inwardly gave thanks for all the opportunities I  enjoy.   I was even more inspired when she wrote that I should grasp my dreams.  Those dreams involve writing  and yet despite my best intentions, weeks fly  faster than words do.

Today,  I reluctantly replaced  my phone as it  was broken.  I don’t do well with new technology  so I am relieved that I have some free time to get to grips with it.

Although nothing could dampen my sense of thankfulness as this weekend  provided so many extra opportunities of God’s love and attention to the details of my life.

MY former friend and I  spent Thursday evening  without innuendos or referral to our failed relationship as he  carefully  completed  my half finished table someone started three years ago. It helped hat I consider him a good  person who could not love me as I needed.   Nonetheless,  it was great news to hear that two friends  are  hoping to end their separation. Paradoxically, being apart can  renew one’ s feelings and love

The weekend  also brought calls from friends cementing decades of friendships they gave my self  esteem a boost.
