Anyway all that to say this weekend, when someone innocently said " It is really late notice and I am sure you already have plans..." something instantly clicked inside of me before I had even heard what the offer was. I realized how very sad it was that I was on the brink of spending Easter in isolation and had somehow thought that would be OK. Last 4th of July I actively sought out something to do with people, but Easter, the pinnacle of the Christian calendar, and I wanted to spend it alone? Certainly many a Sabbath is necessarily spent quietly in one's home resting and relaxing, but Easter is a day for celebration WITH each other. I talk about community openly, but I also openly admit I don't always like practicing it. Sometimes it just doesn't come naturally. So thank you someone for saving my Easter, and may the Easter Bunny hide the Myers-Briggs somewhere no one will find it.
