I Am So Blessed

See this beautiful woman?

She is the mother of six.

Don't hate her because she is beautiful,

love her because she is a wonderful dear friend whom I love.

I am old enough to be her mother (YIKES) but when

 we met while working together a few years back,

 we just connected.

  In the years that have followed we have been 

 separated by mileage and by busy lives,

but when we call after months and months have gone by,

 we pick up right where we left off. 

We had one of those calls this evening

 and I am ending my day with that warm fuzzy feeling

 you only get after a long (very long) chat with a good bud.

She is a wonderful Mother, a beloved wife,

a caring and charitable human being.

She is my friend.

I am blessed to have you in my life.

Life is yin and yang

up and down

good and bad

The events of last Sunday threw me a bit I must confess,

but were book-ended with a brunch on Saturday with 

friends wishing me congratulations

 and lovely presents from two gal pals;

followed by today with a wonderful visit with Kristin.

It's all a teeter totter, and just when I think 

I am going to get slammed down hard to the ground, 

a balance is struck and I gently bounce back into rhythm.

Events can knock us off kilter, but those we love

 and who return our love, ground us,

keep us strong, give us hope.

I am so blessed.
