Dear Friend....

Dear Friend,

I think of you so often. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Your family and your life calling are important to me. I pray you are doing well and loving life. It seems I haven't been very good about contacting you. This is not because I don't love you...it's due to the exciting and fulfilling adventure I am on. My time is precious, as I know yours is too. I do miss the laughter. The sharing of life. It may have been yesterday since I've seen you or it may have been months since we've spoke.

I have so much to share. So much love and goodness surrounding me. I have probably told you, as I have shared with a many friends, that when all these layers - like an onion - come off, you'll find me dancing in the streets. I am finding that those layers will be coming and going throughout my life. I am learning so much. So much about myself. So much about my family. So much about you and our relationship(s). I do find myself dancing, not yet in the street. When that happens, if anyone is around, we'll take pictures. It would be really cool if you are there with me. Let's make that something we can do together!? Dance in the street? I was in the mall recently and the music was going loud and with a really cool beat. I almost, and actually may have just a little, began to dance.

You see, your friendship, you being a part of my life, whether big or small has blessed me. Has made me who I am. Has given me wings to fly. An urge to dance. Knowing me, you know I can't keep the beat if I try. I am finding that's okay. I am dancing anyway. Snickers do still come my way. I don't seem to mind. I actually think they, those who snicker, secretly want to dance too. Maybe my wiggle and giggle will inspire them to do so. How fantastic would that be! To influence someone to stop, stand up, and wiggle a bit. You try it. Hear the music in your head? Feel that beat? The flow and sound of the music while your body is moving.

My friend, I miss you, yet I hold a piece of you within me. A piece I cherish. You are very important to me and my life. I can't wait to get together again. Coffee? A walk on the beach? A phone call? Or maybe, just maybe, we'll go dancing.

Sue
