My Friday morning class is amazing. Lives are being transformed. That's what three young women told me this morning. That's how I started off my Friday. I don't attribute a direct cause-effect relationship between my teaching and their transformation, but it is gratifying to know that I am somewhere in the mix.
The afternoon was peaceful. I spent time with a dear friend, and we talked some, were quiet some as we just enjoyed each other's company. There are certain people in my life with whom I don't feel that I need to be anything I'm not, or prove anything. Time with them is limited but precious, and makes for a perfect Friday afternoon. Later I cleaned house and then went to pick up my children.
Tonight I'm feeling sad and more empty than I should after such a day. It would be good for me to go be by myself and read until falling asleep, but instead I'll probably mindlessly surf the internets for awhile. Don't know that that'll help sad and empty, but it is where I'm at right now.
