Thursday
New friend: Bryson and Mitch at the grocery store. They did the work, as i was walking down the aisle: "Let's ask her!" Brilliant. So we discussed trash bags. Delightful. This is the stuff that friendships are made of. Why did we not exchange info? I need to work on this.

Truth: Ask your friends what they need. They may actually tell you, so that you CAN serve them and give to them. It was lovely to spend time with my dear friend.

Wednesday
New Friend: Derrick in the wilk dining room. He asked me to watch his laptop for a minute. So i did. I wondered, if someone really did try to steal his laptop, would i chase them down? leave my laptop? etc. So when he returned and said thank you, i replied that it was no problem, as only 5 people tried to steal it. Most likely due to my victorious defense of his laptop, he offered me some of the banana bread he had just purchased from Sugar and Spice. I must admit, for "store bought" it was delicious. We bonded over banana bread.

Truth: Pray more specifically. We are placed in paths and surrounded by friends with whom we can learn from and learn with. I had a very animated and emotionally charged conversation with a dear friend in the HFAC. We came to the conclusion that we will pray specifically: to meet men that will act on faith, rather than fear, and not be intimidated, but rather able to see the potential that we have, that they have, and that we have together, even just for a date. Here we go.

Tuesday
New friend: Chris, who helped with my photo shoot that my cousin Jmo invited me to be part of.

Truth: Giving time to those you love is the best birthday gift. Belgian waffle party for a 51st birthday, Dad!
