Went to dinner with current and recent co-workers. It was a night of ribald humor, texting around the table, tearful toasts, and unbuttoned affection.
I had salmon and broccoli, wine, and chocolate cake. Actually brought most of the salmon home as filled up on broccoli. It was perfectly prepared: steamed al dente. Delish.
We were a party of 22. We laughed and yelled around the table. Applauded all arrivals. Gathered for pics. Switched seats, mingled, and switched again.
Three of our party are headed in new directions. They are loved and will be missed. Change is often difficult, full of lessons, and eventually ultimately beneficial.
Best wishes to you, dear reader, if you are experiencing change. Be easy on yourself. Rest. Breathe. Lean on your friends (Chodron).
And read Pema Chodron: When Things Fall Apart. Great book.
