Something I have realized over the years and thought I should put a voice to it is when you love or care deeply for someone, you want to share. As I go about my days and my nights, I find something I like or think important and then relate it to a loved or cherished one in my life that I want to share this wonderful bit of yummy tidbit. Oh, and I don't limit it just to my sames, if someone likes something a bit different and I find info, I pass it on. It is a joy to see them light up because you thought of them.
Memories have flooded me these past weeks. Will they always seem to swirl in my mind. I miss someone and have missed for a long time. I miss our deep and light talks. sighs This morning in the warm shower the thought that being able to share is a gooooood thing. It shows you are alive and engaging. Your eyes are on and focused. You are ready to grab life and soak it in... to share a smile... but then again when you miss someone... sharing doesn't seem so good...
In my work life a chapter has ended and a new chapter begins on Monday. A colleague (a writer & film director in waiting) last day was yesturday. We talked writing, movies, health, politics, God, Bible etc. I gave him a card to express how much he had encouraged my life. Our words faltered even when we love them so much. No worries. I know we both know what we had meant to each other and that it is only a chapter ending ... there is no period. I could tell this from him as he said that emails might be sparse but it is there. He needs to change things up. He feels good about his new job though not in the writing field. I cheered his dreams on as he did with mine.
But Monday morning when I found a tidbit from my weekend I cannot share, he won't be there. I hate that. God brings people in our lives. I try to focus on why they are in my life. So when they go, mystery steals in like fog. As God puts you into people's lives to share you with them, so God puts people in your life for them to share themselves with you... hmmm, now that is a wow thought ...!!!
