56 ❦ Share the gift of friendship
The
Gift: Dinner out with some friends
I
happen to be in Boulder for work and haven’t been here for several years. I
lived in Colorado for 12 years before moving to Minnesota and I have been gone
for many years. It is so nice catching up with friends and tonight I have
invited a friend who I have not seen since I moved close to 15 years ago. Randy
is the kind of friend who I feel very comfortable with and when we meet – It is
like I never left – we have lots of stories and things to catch up on and the
night goes quickly. He brings his wife who I have not met and we have a chance
to forge new relationships. It is such a gift for me to have people in my life
who are there for forever and who can help me remember sometimes about which I
have fond memories. It is especially wonderful to be able to develop new
relationships within the old ones and create new memories. The gift of dinner
does not even come close to the gift I received in return.

note: There have been many parallels in my current life with the time during
which I was experiencing the first cycle of 100 days of giving – today is the
craziest parallel however, since on the day that this will post – about an
experience I had 8 years ago…I will be having dinner, sharing the gift of
friendship and dinner with these same friends in Boulder.
