“We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everyhwere.”
—Tim McGraw

Sometimes while on your path you meet new people, and immediately you get a sense that there is something a little deeper that you would definitely like to know more.

Keith and Margot are two new people who have come into my life recently and I am grateful to have met them.  Initially they were a couple of regulars who visited our Starbucks, but immediately chatting it up briefly with the two of them, I knew that there was something a bit special about them.  I don’t know what it was, I cannot put my finger on it, but deep down I just knew.

As the days passed, and turned into weeks, our brief conversations began to turn into conversations about a common interest and that was poker.  At first I thought maybe this is it, maybe that is what drew me to them, their love for the game of poker, but that wasn’t it.  There was something about the energy they gave off, just looking at them as an outsider I could see a couple who were very comfortable with who they were, and what they meant to each other in this stage of the game.  They were genuinely happy.  It wasn’t until Keith gave me his card so I could email him, and I saw the web address www.whatonepersoncando.net printed on it that it really struck me.  These were definitely my kind of people.

I believe people enter your life, however long, however short, for a reason.  And Keith and Margot definitely came into my life at the right time.  Well in my beliefs, it is always the right time, but after spending dinner with them at their house this last week, really getting to know about them more, and them me, I am so grateful to say that I have found two very inspirational like minded people.

Dinner was fantastic, Margot made  Shepherd’s pie and some killer potatoes that if not for the lap band, I would have gone back for thirds.  Also, Keith introduced me to Vegemite, which I am enjoying now daily thanks to his generous gift of my very own tube.

I truly love my life and the experiences I have had, and the people I have met.  This is an amazing journey we get to take, and I am glad I chose this experience and the people included in it…thank you to all of my friends for being there, at just the right time.
