Post potluck preparation, and elbow deep in ground beef, I
considered how I was going to complete the Day Challenge of my December. (Using www.30daysofgratitude.org.) I’d already decided that if the day didn’t
fit, I was just going to post something else.
My thoughts moved away from the original Day 1 plan – to honour the
month past. They moved into the honest
grateful mode that has been groomed by my previous 30 day challenge.
Today I am grateful for the wild card of chance that brings
people together. Today, you see, along
with two handsfull of others, I was invited to a big birthday party. It is through chance that we twenty or so
know one another. In reflection of the
first round of classes, I have encouraged others to this session – secretly holding
back the fact I would like everyone to sit in this woman’s class. Sure, we’ve all learned to play ukulele. The secret, though, that I hold back is the
way that you will feel after being in
this woman’s class. I am grateful for
whatever it is that she has... and whatever it is that she shares, that builds
the souls of those around her.
I am also grateful for the new friendships that we are
investigating, getting to know one another bit by bit. No one in a hurry, probably no one with a
whole lot of extra time. Slowly but
surely we are becoming a really neat group.
If I were building a timeline of life
experiences for others, this would be the type of wild card I would deal – and I
would watch the joy in their hearts grow as they let go to enjoy all that life
can bring.
