Magic

There has been so much magic in my life these past few days. I have a hard time knowing where to start.
I got to hang out with my Dueber House guys Tuesday. That was so very nice. Friday was my long day of goodbyes and coincidental meetings. So crazy, it was almost as if God ordered my footsteps. :)
I worked in the morning, then met up with Desiree for lunch. I gave her the letter I had written to her with the group of other letters I wrote. As we sat there talking, who happened to walk in? Michael Miller. He lives over an hour away from where we were, and he knows Desiree also, so it was really good. He talked to us for a little bit and then sat down with his friends. I joined them after Desiree left and we had some good conversation. Told him about the dream. :) I left there, went south and said goodbye to Aaron. Went to see if I could find my friend Curtis to say goodbye, no luck. But as timing would have it, I ended up at Cracker Barrel saying my goodbyes at the perfect time. Marsha came in and it was her first day back from vacation, Doug showed up just as I was leaving- and he was 2-3 hours early for work.  My favorite employees were there for me to say goodbye to. It just worked out really well. I went to the library to drop off a CD, found my friends Fred and Wanda there. (They don't live in the area- they were just dropping off a donation) They had wanted to get together with me before I left, but hadn't realized I was leaving the next day, even though I had informed them of this in a past email. They wanted to get lunch, which I had already eaten about 2 hours previous, but I told them I would join them for dessert. They had to make a quick stop at the bank, so I made a quick stop to see if my friend Vanessa was working at Legends. She was. She was fixing to have 4 days off in a row in March and trying to come up with what to fill them with- my coming in reminded her that coming to see me at the beach would be a fabulous idea. ;)  So after eating with Fred and Wanda- I went to work. As I walk in the door- who is sitting right there? Elise Ramey and her mom. I hadn't seen Elise since she'd visited the outer banks in May- she used to live near us in Ohio, but now she's like 4 hours away- and she was completely unaware that I worked at that restaurant. So it was just so very very coincidental.
As I got down here to the beach, I saw the sunrise over the water- and the infinite joy of the blue skies, shining water and wind blowing filled my soul. I love it here so. It brings peace, overwhelming joy... I can't even begin to explain it.   I am home.
