Got to know when to fold them
I came across a bunch of inspirational cards that a friend in San Rafael had given me many moons ago. It was great opening a box of books where I was searching for my Haggadahs. We’re getting ready for Passover and the seder and I have an assortment of them that had gone missing. Inside one box were these cards and so I took them out and read each one and felt quite happy that I’m in a good place now.
I’ve been having close encounters of the interesting kind as of late. I met someone recently who I’ve met before but this time I saw him, I looked into his eyes and I saw his kind soul and I felt connected. I think it is that way with souls – sometimes the window opens. I spoke on the phone to a dear friend who I’ve loved from the time we met – he’s in a rough place now – and I felt an overflow of love for him as we spoke and I told him so. I said I love you and he said I love you back. Our birthdays are near and we are going to go celebrate even though he does not feel too social.
It’s been an odd day. A man stopped me on the street and said he’s seen me around and he wanted to tell me how much he thinks I’m beautiful and he held my hand and asked for a hug and all that was going on and then he said, “I’ll be truthful with you, I’m married.” And I dipped my sunglasses and looked in his eyes and said, “And I’ll be truthful with you, I don’t mess around with married men.” Later, another incident happened where a woman pulled up behind me and got out of the car and said she has been seeing me around and she wanted to give me this card that she’s had on her dashboard for a while now – it’s her mother who has alopecia and she started a foundation to help young girls with alopecia accept their baldness rather than hide under wigs – her whole life is dedicated to bald is beautiful and she just wanted to tell me that I’m beautiful.
Well I tell you – it’s been a day.
And I came home to watch my two little pups scamper around the backyard. I turned down dinner at the Taco truck for my PJ shorts and a big oversized tee shirt another friend left me when he visited from LA – I turned the Taco truck down for some much needed rest.
And have I mentioned, it’s been a day?
