Silver Celebrations

Last weekend, Andy and I shared in the Silver Wedding celebrations of some friends. They hosted the party in their lovely home and as we sipped champagne or diet Pepsi (yes, I was driving) and chatted to other old friends, I couldn’t help but reflect on life’s rich tapestry. Many guests were financially or professionally successful but several had experienced loss and sorrow or had their lives take a different direction from the intended route.  But despite the differences, the unifying feature was the delight in celebrating the marriage of two generous, warm-hearted people. And that was a powerful thing!
