Yesterday was a blast for me.
I started off the day going to a Synergy meeting, which is a networking group. I sat across the table from a website designer and we chatted about website design. I also talked to my friend Kerri about writing a promotional article for her company.
Then I was about ready to leave, when I heard my name being spoken. I looked up and saw Katie, my most fabulous hairdresser.
I love Katie, so I chucked the idea of leaving out the window and sat down with her. She was sitting with a couple of other women and we chatted some more.
It was Katie’s birthday so Happy Birthday Katie!
Then the rest of the day I did errands and planned what I was going to wear for the evening dinner I had RSVP’d for.
This dinner was to be at a nice Italian restaurant and it was a group of local singles.
I didn’t know who was going to attend but I had a talk with God about the dinner and asked Him to come along. Every time I ask God to come along, it just turns out to be a remarkable memory.
I usually don’t do well in a group situation. I usually turn into a wall flower, so I was a bit out of my element.
There were moments that the thought passed through my mind that most people have someone special on this day and here I was with strangers, but the thought was not allowed to stay. (Refer to my previous post on Eviction notice)
As we sat down together we started sharing and telling stories that resulted in a fair amount of gaiety and laughter. We stayed long past the time when the last of our food had slithered down our throats.
It was one of the funnest dinners I have attended in a long time.
I realize that Valentines day is a day for lovers. I liked the people at the restaurant but do not love them.
It was interesting that I had more fun with these people that I liked than I have had with people that I have loved.
I think it may have turned out so swell because the one that I invited to attend with me, was God. He really knows better than anyone how to celebrate love.
Makes me wonder if liking someone can be more fun than loving them.
