For me, it has been one of my best years ever.
A year ago, my friend Debbie were visiting on New Year's Eve. We talked about what we hoped 2012 would bring.
She wanted a regular dance partner.
I wasn't sure what I wanted. I had wanted to be published for many years and I knew that was going to happen in 2012. I might like to travel and I wondered what I would do for a job when the Episcopal Diocese of Florida's annual convention was over as it would be in January.
I wanted my children to have joy and success and I wanted my mother to be comfortable in my home as small but significant changes continued to be a part of who she is.
Did I want a regular dance partner?
I didn't know.
I remember that I said it might be nice to have someone to date, but that I really couldn't get involved with anyone. Between my mother and finishing the writing project, I didn't really think I had time.
Besides my living room has four chairs - no sofa...if you date someone shouldn't you have a sofa?
A little lame, right?
That was a year ago today..
This past Saturday night Debbie and I were together again - just before she went "dancing" with Jack Edwards and I came home to enjoy some time on a small sofa that is now a part of the decor in my home office. Earlier in the day I had rearranged the furniture in my living room to get it ready for another sofa that's on it's way to my home.
And of course, I didn't come home alone.
"Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart," (Psalm 37:4).
...Even those you think you do not have!
