Simple Pleasures

October 29, 2005 - 10:15 PM by

For several years, I have made friends on the Internet, then travelled thousands of miles to be able to meet them in person. Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting a cyber-friend who lives in the same time zone as I do. Not only that, the distance from her home to mine can measured in minutes, not hours.

Savtadotty is a wonderful lady. Of course, I knew that before we met in Real Life; I’ve been reading her blog for months. Still, there’s always that element of the unknown, the first time you sit together with someone you feel you know, but don’t – not really.

We sat and shared stories about our lives and our aliyahs over coffee, homemade marmalade (hers) and fresh-baked muffins (mine). We talked about our families and our interests while working on our knitting. I take it as a sign of how well we got along that we both needed to go back and fix mistakes we’d made in our work. We’d been too busy enjoying one another’s company to pay attention to stitch count, increases, and cable rows.

A few quiet hours on a sunny day in autumn with a friend. We should all enjoy such simple pleasures in life.
