It was New Years Eve. I was at Alessandro's greeting guests at the front door. It was a cold crisp night and every time someone opened the door from outside a bit of the night air came in to remind us.
I looked up, and there he was. Looking more then handsome, wearing a long cashmere wool chocolate/truffle brown coat. Eyes bright and shining with a beautiful smile to match wishing me a "happy New Year".
My heart missed a beat as I gasped at how wonderful he looked, and how enthusiastic he was as he shared an article in an art magazine with me.
The man was no other then my special friend and boss, Roger Yost.
Roger has a birthday on January 6. Although he is a little bit older then me, one would never no it as his youthful spirit is never ending and he seems to get younger with each birthday!
If you have never had the pleasure of meeting him and sharing a conversation, I can tell you he is one of the most opened minded individuals I have ever known! His passion for art is more fun then I can explain and his sharp sense of business is amazing! He can put on a suit and fit right into the corporate world; and I have also experienced him rolling up his sleeves and enjoying the outdoors and plants.
Sometimes you meet people and they remind you of, or act like someone else you know; and although he does remind me of a couple of famous movie stars, I can truly say "there is only one Roger Yost"!
I know God lead my path to his, and I have learned a wealth of knowledge from my friend, my boss, Roger.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SPECIAL MAN I HAVE GROWN TO KNOW AND LOVE.
May God continue to bless you in this year of new beginnings.

Happy New Year Kathy. I just took a look at my blog today and noticed that you had commented on some of my earlier entries. I also had a look at your blog and was much impressed by how faithful you are to the idea of regular postings. Your blogs all seem to be straight from the heart. Your boss sounds like a very special person. I too was sorry to learn of Dan Fogelberg's passing but happy to hear that he knows Jesus. I found a new church today that I liked very much.My previous church closed. I'm pretty tired now so I'll end this comment and hopefully will make a blog entry soon. Tell everyone I said hello.
Love and peace,
Bruce
So glad to hear from You! I have been thinking about You a lot and hoping all is very well for You.
How nice to find a church that You enjoy!
I have never been to Canada and have been wanting to come visit sometime.
This new year is going to be a year of change for me. There is so much in life I want to do, but am held back, and You and very close family and friends know why...xo
