...thank you...
Been sitting here in the stillness of this last evening up here in Summit County, CO...Frisco, CO to be exact. Took that picture awhile ago across Lake Dillon before darkness took over as it expresses where I'm at tonight. Peace, deep peace, reigns in this olde soul.
What a wonderful four days this has been up here celebrating life with Judy, and with some new, unexpected friends I will write about in this week to come. Being bare bones honest, I don't know what to say next...as some quiet tears are leaking out of these olde eyes.
Those who know me best will say it's a miracle of sorts that I might be wordless and/or speechless. But I am........... Allow me to heave another deep sigh and attempt to say what I need to say.
Thank you for all the birthday greetings that have come my way via text, Facebook, email, phone calls and in person. (...dang these tears.......lol...) Warm hearted. Stunning. Wonderful.
...thank you...
What's blown me away is that there have been hundreds of them. So unexpected. So meaning-filled. So encouraging. From four different continents. Oh, my...........
From a profoundly simple heart-felt "Happy Birthday," to longer messages, to hearing from some friends of many years past, to renewing connections with others, to wondering who a couple of you even are.......you have blessed this birthday in the deepest of ways.
My heart is full (which is one reason my eyes keep leaking...). My hopes for a good year are soaring. My honest dreams for a year of getting to do what I love to do...mentoring that releases others into all they were designed to be and do...well, your kind and caring words have well fueled the beginning of this next year of life.
...thank you...
...God bless you...
.....from here, know you are loved!
