Friends, Fun and Food!


Well, Sunday evening I spent out on the town with some of my really good friends. They are two of the people that I was lucky to meet at Davis and am so sad that I won't be with them every week. The dark haired girl is Zhanna and the lighter haired is Zhenya ("zh" is pronounced like the "dg" in the word -budge-). We've been planning to have a get together ever since Zhenya moved as a result of her new job. They are such sweethearts! I really had a great time. We went to a nice restaurant called "Lucca"and boy was it ever good. I now have another vice added to my list. Their marinated steak salad was to die for and I thoroughly enjoyed Zhanna's Saltim...something-er-uther chicken ma-doodle. Good Lord, what an awfully good place to eat. Afterwards, we made our way across town and had desert at my all time favorite Tower Cafe. Zhanna and I shared the Neapolitan and Zhenya had the chocolate mousse. mmmmm....later we mosied on home and talked. It felt great to be with people I really care about. I wish I could do it more often...

Betrayal

I suppose one can never be too surprised when betrayal rears its infamous head but, it seems that every time it does I'm never prepared! Why should I have to deal with this type of injustice? Someone should come up with a salve that soothes the wounds of a betrayed soul. The only feelings I have tumbling through me are hurt and bewilderment. I'm amazed that I'm not bitter! But, I worked through that a while ago and THANK GOD for it. There is no other feeling greater than that of a soul freed from the sticky hold of bitterness.
Is there a good way to work through this and still smile? Hmmm, I think I need to find a verse in the bible appropriate for this particular situation. I have determined to smile, and be polite and forgive. I will NEVER reciprocate the injustice of betrayal to this person. Life will move forward and we with it and I'm not sure I'll ever approach this person...or maybe I will after some time has passed and I'm a little more mature. God...please help. Thanks
