And so I don't know if there is another story in me now, but after getting home and lying immobile for a few days, I am back in business once more. And I began my morning by going to daily Mass today and greeting my friends who were gathered there too.
"Boy there sure are some great people living in our neighborhood!" my old friend Jim called out as we walked toward the church door.
"There are?" I responded. And asked him about where these great people were.
"You know! In your area and in mine," he obtusely clarified as I still looked confused.
"I mean you and me! We are the great people" he laughed as I suddenly understood.
"You don't have a selfish bone in your body!" He replied. "You had no idea I was talking about me and you."
I grinned then, feeling less selfless than slow on the uptake, but enjoyed his friendly greeting none the less.
Then we entered the chapel and sat in our respective "usual" chairs and greeted Eddie and our other friends gathered there.
Walking back out to our cars after Mass was over, I stopped to talk to two women by our cars.
Then Eddie walked past, having said, "Hello Gorgeous!" not a half hour before, he now said, "It's a hen party, you old hens!"
And when we balked he replied, "Well, I could have called you Old Nags, so be glad."
Yes, this blog is in praise of men. For all the ways they brighten my days, for the kind and thoughtful things they do, for the fun they are, for the helping hands they are always stretching out, for the joy they bring to my life.
Yes, Jim W, Barry T, Connor W, Charlie D, Charlie W, Bill W, Jimmy T, Tom F, Danny F, Rich M, Brother Jim M, Ron G, Larry G, Steve M, Micaela's friend Vinnie, Brian, Jim S, Eddie S Ron B, Anthony H, Ray G, Doug C, and so so so many more...
Thank you! You are awesome and I just want to let you know.
