I've been on a self-made sabbatical.
I'm working on my Year of Possibilities ... and I actually was able to make another one happen.
So, I could say my Year of Possibilities is a small 'bucket list' of things to do before????
I have a very special friendship with Becky. It's a bit complicated to explain, but it is a real nice 'thing'. We met over 23 years ago while working in the same company in Racine.
She has always lived in Utah, and me? Well, since that time I have lived in Wisconsin, Tennessee,Wisconsin again and now Illinois.
In Wisconsin for a sales meeting, she missed a plane home one day, and stayed in my house for the night ... and we became Pen Pals.
We contacted each other through snail mail for years .... talking about our new marriages and our babies. Becky has older children, but we both have a boy and girl who were the same grades growing up. So it seemed, we had a lot in common. Across the miles we began sharing ideas and our love for crafts and making people happy. Along the way were many trials and jubilations of being moms, and the milestones in our children's lives.... potty training, school, dance, sports, driving, dating, grades, graduations, college planning .... we shared, we connected!
Over the years with new technology, we dropped our pen and stationary and found new ways of communicating... via the computer. And now one of our most advanced ways of staying in touch is texting and sending each other videos over our iPhone.
And one day, because it's my Year of POSSIBILITIES.... she invited me to visit her in Salt Lake City, and I was able to make it happen.
Talk about Brightening Someone's Day!!!
Stay tuned, (it's a tease) more to follow.
