Seasons

To you - 

to those who have made 'hello's' feel like that warm country dinner shared on a windy, country night;

to those who have inspired me & shared your stories with me;

to those who have mentored me and encouraged me on this journey;

my sincerest Thank You's. 

I am forever grateful for the new friendships I've made in the journey of "blogging".

I am forever thankful for the already-present friendships that grew deeper through sharing life's stories together.

I am grateful for readers - big or small, many or few - who met me along this path and cheered from beside me on the road.

I just want to say Thank You.

Thank you for being YOU -

because YOU are so ridiculously special.

This will be the last blog I post here on breewith2e-s. Some seasons bring forth harvest each season. Some seasons live to birth just once. 

I don't know when, or if, this season will come around again. But for now, we must part our ways.

I've never been good with "Goodbye's", "The End's", or "Until Next Time's".

I'm a sap for "Happily Ever After's", "Forever and Ever's" and "Forever and Always'".

So I wish you all the Happiest Ever After,

and the best of Forevers.

With all my love, admiration, and deepest appreciations.

Encore

It's called Thanksgiving.

No, not the day we celebrate on the fourth Thursday of November each year. The day we stuff our faces with deliciousness and sit with our jeans unbuttoned and our shirts stained with pumpkin pie filling. 

I'm talking about the Thanksgiving that happens inside of a person. The emotion that causes your heart to melt. The over-welming sense of submission caused by the reality that the blessings of your life are so many and the things you've done to deserve them are so absent and few.

When I think of my life, this is the only word I can use to describe the aftermath of the realization I have in retrospect to it. It's the summation of the addition. It's the expression of the combination. 

It's the lyrics to my heart's song.

It's a production inspired by the cast -

my GOD,

my husband,

my family,

my friends.

It's an Encore ever going. 

It's an encore, courtesy of YOU.
