You've Got A Friend....

When I went to bed last night I had a smile on my face and the same is true for when I woke up this morning.  You see last night I went to a dance being put on by a local Young Adult group and had an absolute blast!  It was a semi formal dance, and so all of the ladies were there in their finest and all the men were cleaned up in their suits and ties.  The mood was set, the disco ball was greased up and ready to do it's thing, the fondue was pouring, and most importantly the DJ was ready.  After a very quick review of the foxtrot, waltz, salsa, and swing dancing the night began!  I danced practically the entire night, and although my footsies are a bit sore this morning, every bit of the night was perfect!

Now the music was good, the decorations too, but I don't think that's what made the night such a success.  What made the night a success was all the great people there! A Chinese proverb says, "With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough. "  I think that sums up the fun I had last night.  The dance was in a simple church hall, but you wouldn't have known because the dance floor was full, the mood was light, and there was fun being had by everyone there.  And as I drove home late last night, I began to reminisce about the night.  I went through each face that I danced with, laughed with, and talked with and I was overcome with gratitude to know so many wonderful people.  Each friend brings something a little different to my life.  They are the bouquet of happiness for me.   My friends are the sweet aroma in my life! 

So, today my smile remains.  And that smile goes out to all of you...my friends.  I know my life is so much more full and has a greater purpose because of all the people  in it.
