Counting Down

As winter approaches I find myself looking forward to the coming year. It holds promise and excitement. I am reminded of a story I was once told about feeling the excitement of the future. The future never held much hope for me at that time.

A wise friend told me that days were like pearls. One by one, she told me, I could string them together. And after a time I would hold in my hands a most precious necklace of pearls. I learned a great deal from her - my first mentor.

And now another great mentor has entered my life. I count down the days now until we actually meet, face to face. What seems like an unendurable length of time is getting shorter and shorter.

Count with me now... as I 'X' out the days until... The Meeting of the Minds...
