Where Is The Grey?

...What Do You Get When You Mix Black and White?

Dianne would probably tell you that I am a "black and white" kind of woman. There is no grey in my world. Well, the world is changing or rather, I am changing. Recently I came to the realization that there is grey. And Rhonda is showing me the way. She doesn't know it, and that is okay. Let me introduce you to her. Here is Rhonda.

Rhonda is short, I am tall. Rhonda is younger, I am older. She is a Sagittarius, I am a Leo. She is a Republican, I am a Democrat. She is from Carolina, Alabama, and I am from the most liberal place in the US, Vashon Island, Washington. She has a huge heart, and I do too. She is married and so am I. She is a member of SOTF Sister Corps, and so am I. She believes in giving through service and I do too.

You get the point. Rhonda is very vocal about her political beliefs which are as opposed to mine as one could get, and yet, here we are hugging. I love Rhonda. I love her spirit and spunk for life. We have much more in common than what divides us. Rhonda, by being who she is, just as she is, is teaching me that there is a new grey in my world.
