We want the funk...

First thing this morning, my inbox brought an email from my same-age aunt and she reminded me of some things I had forgotten over the years. Considering we were 17 when her sister and my father got together - that is a lot of territory to remember.

Later in the morning I met with some ladies to make some invitations for their mother's 80th birthday celebration. There was much good talk about women and religion - couldn't have enjoyed myself more. We shared more in common than I ever would have imagined.

Early afternoon, my phone rings and I am instructed to open the front door. There was my friend with a goodie bag that included my favorite soup IN THE WHOLE WORLD. She made my day - her kindness had me in tears.

I spent a few hours working on the birthday invitations and wondered what this 80th old woman would claim to be her greatest joys and her deepest regrets. Her daughters want to give her a great day of celebration and my contribution involved a lot of pink and a princess crown.

As I sit here reviewing my day, I have no idea how to put it all together. It seems like none of the things that I experienced today had anything in common with each other but I was wrong. Who would have thought that Mastercard would put it in such easy terms - so simple even a child could get it!!!
