Right in the middle of writing the first post for this blog yesterday, my house phone rang. It wasn't a number I recognized. The credit card companies have been calling me more than anyone else lately, so I normally don't answer if I don't know the number. I did answer though, and on the other end of the line was a sweet woman I don't know, but I'm pretty sure we're going to end up being great friends. We have a mutual friend, and this mutual friend knew we were going through similar things right now, and decided to connect us. The fact that she took the time out of her busy day and her own life struggles...she owns TWO small businesses in town (I can't even imagine)...well, that was just amazing. Within the first 30 seconds, I found myself being more open with her than I have probably ever been with a complete stranger....heck, with some friends I've known for years. From what I can tell so far, we're very similar, and it feels good to have a strong, positive female friend who is gracefully (in the midst of a very ungraceful situation) moving forward in her life. We're going to get together for coffee or lunch soon. I just felt like sitting down to start writing opened the door for goodness to start flooding in.
