another moment

This is a moment of laughter and friendship. Of learning, patience, and joy. Of summers spent with friends and family.
This is what joy and love and laughter look like and FEEL like to me.

Savor it as much as I and pass it on.


Last Saturday some very dear friends, a new aquaintance was invited along also, all joined Marty and I for food and fun.
We went to the Korean BBQ place we found when Marty first returned from South Korea. I had forgotten about the place. Dr. Jeff Siu and his friend Caroline had taken me there for dinner a long time ago. It was delightful then and had only improved in greatness once our dinner was completed. It was so fun coking Goubi and teaching what little I know in the culture with Marty then teaching more with history included. Mark Menosky, Brian Gagnon, Antje Spethmann, and Leslie Martin were Marty and my victims :)

We told them about a Norabong being part of the evening but never told them what a norabong is. :) Kept is quiet all week. :)
Something very hard for me to do.



I'm sorry Jordan.
Um.... Happy Birthday, TOO! Wait until January for your gift???
hehehe
A SON!!!!
So how does that count?
I helped in the creation of your wonderful wife. :) see???

All of this, and more, are part of the circle that always expands.

That does tie in with the beginning of this journal. You see I had almost cut my circle of loved ones down so far that there was not hardly room even for me.
:)
I tend to be a bit all encompassing when getting to know people. It is like a crash course. ABSORB IT ALL, DAMN IT!!! So as not to make more mistakes. Yep! That's the reason. I have noticed I also do this action with my hobbies and my job. I forgot often to just be still to breathe and to experience my life. I don't have to hurry. :)


OH!!! This JUST in! *click me*

now how fun is THAT!
(thanks Lefty)

So, I have had time to look around at some habbits and reactions. Lots are being recognized which means I will not ignorethem. Changes need to happen.

*SO.... the change comes with sharing laughter with friends at a Norabang and lights and beers and dancing and singing. Norabang translates to singing room. It is a private Karaoke room.

It was a total blast.
We ALL sang and danced. We all laughed. We all were happy to be together at that moment.

It was the best of times that are to be followed by more.
