Post #10 Soaking it in...

My wife and I spent the morning like most Saturdays lately: coffee, oatmeal, the Food Network. We decided to get a little shopping done and by 5:00 we were ready for dinner. But tonight, we we privileged to eat dinner at the home of some great friends. The dinner was wonderful, and the entertainment (their young son) was energetic and awe-inspiring. Michelle made a terrific dessert (mini brownies: german chocolate, peanut butter, caramel, and cheesecake) and we shared stories and laughs.

We get together with this family once or twice a month. It is fun to be with them and they inspire me to be a better person. They are warm, caring, and loving people; and I always feel like I can be myself around them.

I am not always comfortable around people. I often find myself feeling out of place, judged, or unwanted. That is never the case with them. And I thank God for them. So, tonight, I make a late entry, but for good reason: I was with wonderful friends, soaking it in.
