Easy To Forget....

....how the simple act of spending time with marvelous people can sometimes hit a reset button in your soul.  We had the pleasure of spending a delightful evening at one of my BFF's for dinner where bonhomie, sparkling conversation, delicious treats, a loving dog, and laughter abounded.  There was another couple that I sort of knew but my partner didn't and my BFF wanted us all to get together, thinking we had a lot in common.  Which we do!  Not only is my BFF's home a warm inviting space which she has gone out of her way to create for herself, her family, and friends; it's also a place where it seems like creative thoughts and fascinating conversation are fostered due to the warm embrace she has created as her home.  I feel incredibly lucky to have her as a big part of my life and I'm still thinking of the things we all talked about, from politics to party questions, foods to passions, family issues to retirement talk, professions to confessions.  It's an evening that will stay in my heart for some time and occupy a place of joy.

I hope you've been able to get together with people who mean something to you, who challenge you in a good way, who push your bounds of thoughts, who fill you with laughter, and who occupy a place of joy in your heart.
