Today was a really good day.
Just got home from five days in Seattle. Got to meet and see so many amazing people. It started at the airport, continued on the plane and went on for the rest of the trip. Incredible time spent with precious friends, old classmates, immediate and extended family. Great times of getting reconnected, reacquainted and remembering.
I was inspired by strangers that I met on a plane, by my grandma who started a singing ministry at age 90, by friends who did amazingly difficult things with great grace, by my brother and sister in law who started their own business. I am just completely in awe of the wonderful people that God has put in my life. This trip was just another reminder of how blessed I truly am.
Normally I would be near tears as I boarded the plane to head back to Phoenix. But tonight I had a sweet sense of calm and contentment. I was leaving people who mean everything to me. People who share my history and have been there through thick and thin. People whom I will love for the rest of my life. But I was returning to others that I also love dearly. People who share my present, what is happening in my life today. These people are building a history with me as well. And I will love these people for the rest of my life, too. The new and the old, precious friends. And both will share my future. How can I not smile about that?
So today I feel blessed. Blessed that God has allowed me to love and be loved by so many… Today was a really good day…Yep. It was that good.:-)
