Come join us to celebrate your week with Ruth Ayres. You will be uplifted by reading the celebrations of others. Could there be a better way to start your weekend?
It is the first day of my spring break! I was planning to sleep late and enjoy the fact that I had nothing planned for early this morning. But perhaps it was the idea that I did not have to do anything this morning that woke me up early. So, I celebrate waking up rested and ready for a new day!
This past week I found out that one of my friends has breast cancer. Needless to say, I was very sad. I don't live near her, and can't be there for her on a day-to day basis. I wrote about the phone call on Tuesday. I was amazed once again of the caring and supporting responses that I received via comments. I celebrate the support and prayers of this virtual community!
In the midst of sad news, I also had the opportunity to get together with friends. On Tuesday, it was a fun dinner with an old colleague that a few of met in a nearby restaurant. We told stories, laughed, shared about our plans for the future. I went home tired, but uplifted! On Friday night, I had dinner with two friends. We share the passion for reading, teaching, and good stories--real or imagined. This time we celebrated Linda's birthday. We all decided that we can't wait until Kathy's birthday in December; we must get together much sooner again. I celebrate friends, good food and the joy of spending time with friends!
Now I am off to get my second cup of coffee in order to celebrate my spring break!
What are you celebrating today?
Friends are everything some days, aren't they? Sorry for your friend's illness. Hoping that only good comes to her from here on out. Thank you for the inside look at your celebrated life.
