Weaving In and Out

 #1 - Trevor Hall's music has really been nourishing me this week.

Monday night before bed I meditated to his "Lime Tree" to calm myself.
Tuesday AM I did the same with his "Mindful Breathing" with Thich Nhat Hanh.
Today I've been listening to both of his Live at Red Rocks shows as I work.

#2 - Last week I found out my friend Paul has a show on Saturday. I reserved 2 tickets not knowing who I'd attend with. I've already seen him twice in the last 6 months with a few friends, so I doubt they'd want to go again.  I asked my sister in law earlier this week, I don't often get alone time with her. She said Saturday would be rushed and to see if I could find anyone else.  

Today she emailed that it would work after all if I hadn't found anyone.

I hadn't tried.

#3 - #5 People Weaving in and Out of our Lives

I'm staying at my friend's a few nights this week with her 13 and 15 year old while their parents are out of town.  It wasn't until I arrived that I realized the last time I slept there was almost exactly 3 years ago when I moved out of the place I shared with my former partner.  I lived with that friend/family over that summer, having no idea what was next. I had always been close to those kids, but that summer they really saved me.

Now they are teenagers and I don't see them much, but this morning before the 13 year old left for the school bus, he gave me a hug at my back as I washed at the kitchen sink.  And the 15 year and I might be playing tennis together today.

Also the Realtor who first tried to help my former partner and I find a house and then help me find a condo 3 years ago said she was interested in the book club I started in November.  She wasn't able to attend the first couple sessions, but she will be here tomorrow. It's also fitting to see her again since she was a big part of my life during that painful transition.

Also a sweetheart (in her 20's) who I met at the retreat center I worked at last summer who lives locally responded to my book club email.  She said she was interested, but hasn't responded or attended thus far, so I told her I was going to take her name off the list.  She replied it hasn't worked out yet but she is still interested.
