Life is Full of Surprises

     The days since I returned from my sister's surgery have been a whirlwind of activity, and a fireworks of surprises. The day I got home, my ballroom dancing partner of over a year asked me to marry him — and I said yes! Such an unexpected thing, and so filled with joyous possibility. Tom is a wonderful human being, a man of intelligence and humor and joie de vivre. A spacecraft designer, actually. Retired. And a terrific dancer, especially swing dancing, which I have never done in my life before now. We never run out of things to talk about. He loves learning and traveling.
     So at this point I find myself planning a wedding. Imagine! I could never have predicted it. But life has proven time and again to be filled with blessings large and small. I am so grateful. One more reason to say Thanks be to God.
