What better way to start the new year than to spend time with family, friends and great people over home cooked food. The first day in 2009 proved to be exciting ... already! This afternoon while visiting a friend over lunch, another family friend called to asked if we can help to pick up their guests from the airport since more transportation was required and that we also may know their guests. Our friend did not know when without hasitation I said yes since it would be so amazing to meet up with somebody I have not met since about 23 years ago! Yep. It's not a mistype, it's that long ago. This person was one of the teachers in a youth camp I attended then. The truth is that not every teacher inspires their students for great things but this person did just that. I am happy to say that 23 years later, she is still going strong impacting many more lives.
Of all places and thousands of miles from home, I got to meet with her and her family in the winter in Scotland, totally unplanned. I was set for a great company over lunch but what a pleasant surprise over dinner! For this moment, our big world is a small place ... indeed.
