Doubly Blessed!!


A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

This past week, I spent in paradise or close to it,
Grayton Beach, Florida, no oil in sight!
And no Dashboard Lights, just…
Great new friends, Great new music
(I had never heard this one; believe it or not!),
Great food and a Great many Cocktails on the beach!
It was a last minute trip, much needed, and full of surprises. Thanks to one of their own, my dear Robin, I shared this week with a group of Truman girls, true ladies, well that’s debatable (me included)…
But true Gems for sure!
I can say honestly that my life will be better just for the 6 days I spent with them, feeling their unconditional acceptance of each other and of me; hearing of their journeys, not all easy, but beautiful; and experiencing their binding love, no matter their differences. It was just a Blessing!
We laughed, we sang, we watched fishing boats and waves come in, we colored, we cooked and we rested. And did I say we laughed?
What a refreshing time I spent with these new friends, a vacation to remember and hopefully to be repeated. Thanks to Robin and her Truman Girls, I am doubly blessed!
Joyfully bronze with a few age spots, B
