Today was an other day enjoying time with EQ at work. I met a few more people (like Tony who made me my tasty wrap for lunch). I love how easy and laid back the world here is. I find it very interesting to watch the world around me as even a stern conversation ended with a fancy handshake and a sense of positive energy and support. Brilliant.
As wonderful as today was, with as many moments as I experienced, from reading about raisins as a good food for heart issues (amougnst other things!), to being told I was half the age of my boyfriend (a good laugh as I'm not, but it's flattering to hear!) to riding through Old Temecula. I have many beautiful moments to choose from today. I am grateful for them all.
But the moment I really want to share about today is one that unveiled itself much later and connects with me on a much deeper level. EQ and I had dinner with close friends of his. We shared finger foods, and three bottles of delightful wines over the course of the evening. (We started out with a sauvignon blanc from Australia (Adelaide Hills - Lameka, The Lady) followed by a chardonnay from Gary Farrell, Bacigalupi Vineyard which was very buttery and we finished up with on of EQ's favourites, a chardonnay from Frank Family vineyards.) It was an incredible evening of flowing conversations (from amusing, to sharing life stories, to quite serious), with pretty ambient lighting in the backyard amplifying both the music and the intimate conversations. I even had fun enjoying the energy of our guests two loving dogs. It is easy to see why EQ respects and holds such affection for our hosts, they are a wonderfully positive couple. All of this culminated into my moment of the day.
As our evening came to a close with our gracious hosts, we walked to the door and I felt a tap on my shoulder. As I turned, I saw our host with a huge smile upon his face and his arms open wide for a big hug. In that one moment, more pieces of the puzzle fell into place. A gesture without words that spoke volumes. What a wonderful feeling it was to be accepted into EQ's circle. That hug was followed by one from our hostess who also told me she was looking forward to seeing me again on my next trip down. Of course, I too am looking forward to that reunion as this evening was easy. It felt typical and natural. Simply, it fit.
Moments digging deeper with new friends.
Moments looking forward to digging even deeper.
