Dinner Parties and Success

I had the exceptional honor of being invited this past Saturday to a friends' place for a dinner party. The food, the conversation, the hosts...all were exceptional. I've come to realize that with these people, there really is no possibility but that they will succeed and everyone they are with with always have a fantastic time.

There seem to be these people in the world as rare glimmering points of light: these people who just are effusive and generous in their affections and act as beacons of light to the rest of us. To me, these seem to be the most successful of all. This will be my homage to the light-bringers of the world, the extroverts or at least those who act in that manner. This will be my thank-you.

Thank you for sharing your hearts. I've never figured out if it is that you know what it is like to be lonely, and that is why you are so open with your affections, or if it is simply that you know a thing or two without having had the pain but whatever it is, thank you.

Thank you for learning the nesting arts. You light-bringers always seem to have warm and comfortable surroundings and manners that engage and relax. There is a vitality to your nests like a heartbeat that encapsulates those you take within and make calm.

Thank you for the goodies. Okay, this one is mainly because my palate and tummy are a great deal of how I think and perceive things, but thank you for always knowing that a hungry soul sometimes has a hungry body as well that resists icky manna. Yes, icky.

Thank you for making each individual in the crowd believe he or she are special and especially necessary to the success of the gathering. This might seem to be an encompassing comment rather than a specific tell of what you do, but it is not. You take the time each time with each guest to introduce them to the others in your nest, and to make sure that they know they are special to you by word and action.

This is a form of love, a facet of care that not many can be capable.
