I Am So Blessed...

There is a country-western song that includes the lyrics "I am so blessed..." That is exactly how I feel about my life. I have had the best week in Atlanta seeing friends and getting re-connected. I am reminded that my year in ATL was a tremendous blessing both personally and professionally.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, on Monday I saw Stephanie, Nikki and Jennifer.

Tues, Wed, Thurs I saw former colleagues-- too numerous to mention, but including, Galen, Fred, Josh, and Lindsey.

Friday I went to lunch with Bob, Ann, and Betsy-- three of my favorite people.

Friday I also went antique shopping. Good thing I only have a carry-on suitcase, or I would have probably bought more glassware :)

Saturday I saw a former collegue and graduate school friend- Becky and her two kids MariAnne and Patrick. We had a lovely morning at the Marietta town square and ate a tasty lunch at a Sugar Cakes Patiserrie.

Saturday afternoon I stopped to see my friend Patsy. She has a broken foot and wasn't able to get out. She is the lady who helped me find my apartment in ATL. We had a good time visiting.

Tonight I saw four more of my favorite friends, Gayle, Lazette, Peggy, Ruth Ann and Karen. We ate dinner at Sangira, and laughed a lot. They treated me to dinner and Ruth Ann gave me a gift. It was such a lift to the soul.

Tomorrow I will see more friends at church before catching a flight home and back to the "real world."

LIFE IS SO GOOD!
