this weekend, the hubby and i hosted a good ol' fashioned yard sale! we sold most of our "stuff" and donated what was left at the end of the day. we loved being able to sell the items that we no longer had a use for... but our yard sale ended up being much more than that! we had the opportunity to meet a handful of neighbors, including a sweet lady who has been in our neighborhood since she and her husband built their house in 1955!!!!! she was darling, and lovely, and warm. she chatted with us for a while, reminiscing about our little 50's neighborhood and the changes she has witnessed over the years. she shared with us that her husband passed away last year, after 60 years of marriage... oh how that just pulls at my heart strings. she is spry and looks much younger than her age, it appears as if life has been good to her. i'm hoping to spend more time with her to learn more about the journey she's been on. i'm always inspired by the way people show up in my little world, as if they have accepted a personal invitation. it is a wonderful life, isn't it?
