Once the bulk of my move was completed, my brother suggested I plan a housewarming within a month as incentive to get boxes open in a timely manner and to reconnect with friends in the area.
Well, the shindig happened Friday evening. My expectations were minimal: I would be THRILLED if just my sister and sister-in-law to be joined me. Plus, even the thought those two were coming for a visit would be good incentive to get settled.
So I sent out an invite to about 15 lady friends. 9 folks showed! Two men…and may I say, “WHAT FUN!”
Had no idea what to expect as I simply moved in to a nice apartment and do not need any “thing.” We laughed and talked for a couple of hours. About 9:37 PM–okay I checked the clock–some said, “Can we help you move around your furniture?”
They had heard me say a I did not like the placement of a few pieces. So, “Sure.”
A most wonderful outcome: my living room is now set up, looks inviting, comfortable and is quite functional. You could hire this bunch out.
So as I went to sleep about 11:26 PM, I marvelled and continue to marvel at the generosity of my friends. Not only was I the recipient of their time and companionship, but their creativity and generosity. I could not say what I did to deserve it but I can say I am grateful. For me this is the Every Where Present exceeding my expectations by tankards full…my cup runneth over with joy.
Bright Moments.
