It happened.

I did something last night that I've wanted to do for years. Something that has always been part of my picture of family fun and contentment. Something I actually put on my (unfinished) Life List.

We had friends over. With their kids.

We made pizzas, everybody ate, and then the kids ran around an played and screamed like banshees and played Wii upstairs, while the adults had piña coladas and got to talk.

It's such a simple thing. Something that happens every day to lots of people. So easy to arrange, nothing fancy. But because I'm rather shy, because I don't make close friends easily, because I don't like to impose, and because I seem to attract people who are like me, it never seems to happen.

And I'm determined to make it happen again.
