I looked in the mirror on Friday. At first, I wasn’t really sure what I saw. But, the longer I looked, the more familiar the face became. It was the first annual Freedom Weekend that kicked it off. But time changes people and/or friendships and although we didn’t celebrate what would have been a third annual celebratory weekend this year (or last year), I’m thankful for those times with friends where things pick up, right where they were left.
I think most of us have our groups of people in life. Those who have known us longer than others. Those who make you laugh so hard – you wonder how you get through each day without them. Those who are mere acquaintances, and yet, there are those who not only support or encourage your dreams — but they completely understand, and sometimes, talking to them makes you feel like you’re looking in a mirror.
And so we both looked in the mirror for a long time. Probably more amazed that we saw so much of each other in ourselves. I’ve enlisted her to join my team and she’s been assigned a task. It’s an important role, one that I believe nobody else in my life could complete with everything I’d want it to include. I would fail at finding a way to describe how and what, but in her perfect gifting, she will find a way to make it just as it should be. Because we just get each other. Because when we talk about a goal for our life with one another, what I see in the mirror isn’t just me, but someone who gets it like I do.
Conversations or the equivelant to — is where you will find her. And you’ll want to keep your eye on this one because we’re both emerging into a place in the unknown that is vulnerable, yet enjoyable. You don’t want to miss out. Trust me.
