The cherries sat still in the glass full of something that Luanne really seemed to like. So I clicked away. Amazingly I was able to get a photo that actually came out clear. It wasn’t that Luanne couldn’t stand still or talk without moving her hands. It was the fact that I kept getting hit by the people that walked past me at a party that was one of the grandest of the holiday season.
A partial band of two played in the corner nestled in next to the Christmas tree that was actually three palm trees made out of some kind of man-made material strung with lights and flowers and a sporadic ornament or two.
On a table nearby lay a tray of wineglasses with the stems pointing up. Perhaps it was the same tray from where Luanne’s glass had once stood. It looked as though it could have been.
Bottles of wine both opened and unopened stood tall over the glasses almost as though they were the protectors for the fragile glasses that needed to be protected.
There was just enough room between the musician’s microphones and the tray of glasses and bottles of wine for me to dance to the tunes that warmed my heart and tickled my soul. Now my feet are aching.
I drank plenty of water tonight. So hopefully all that sweat that came pouring out of my body kept up with my intake. I’ll know by the number of times I flush the commode tomorrow. Let’s hope it’s a lot of times.
Through my conversations tonight I discovered love in leaving gifts of hope with a budding artist, a graduating collegian, a soon to be teenager, a messed-up middle aged woman, a band player and maybe another or two. It was definitely a night for giving. So, I gave.
I love to give. I love to share. I love to stand up for what I believe in and I will always protect myself from another’s fears.
Sweet Dreams to you and all those who gather on your dance floor or in your heart! Maggie ã
