Speaking of going the wrong way, today I felt like I was "going the wrong way" every where I went!! Just couldn't go right no matter where I turned. I had so much I thought I needed to do. Around noon, I took a wrong turn into my bedroom just in time to hear my phone ringing. The call was from a cherished girlfriend I hadn't seen in over a year, or heard from in many months - not since she called to let me know her Sweetheart, The Love Of Her Life, had passed away on Christmas Day. At that time, she had mentioned the possibility of her moving back east or down south. When I couldn't reach her, or find her, I figured she had moved without saying goodbye. So, I was thrilled she was calling.
When I answered, I told her I’d was afraid she’d moved. “No, haven’t moved, just been withdrawn and having a really hard time,” she explained. Today she said, she was reaching out, deciding to come back to the world. She suggested going to lunch and suddenly nothing else mattered. She came and picked me up. She's still in a tender place some moments but she looked great and it was soooooo wonderful to enjoy her smile and laughter again. We are going to go out, she and I, looking for music and a place where we can dance. Both of us need that right now. You can never be ‘going the wrong way', no matter how you got there, when you get to be there for a friend. So glad I wrong turned into my bedroom when I did!!
