Through laughter and tears....


I went to dinner with some of my best girlfriends last night for one of the girls birthday. Here we are to celebrate and yet we find ourselves getting teary eyed throughout the night. Each of us was going through some kind of struggle in our own way. I think everyone at some time has a tendency to have their own little pity party. We get so self absorbed we forget that others are going through their own stuff. It helps to snap you out of it, and make you not feel so sorry for yourself when you hear about other people struggles. I think this is a great representation of a last 20 something birthday. Over the years things tend to get more complicated, So it's seems to be appropriate to reflect on where we've been and what we've been through at this milestone.
Although this was probably not the birthday dinner she was expecting, there is nothing better than a good cry, lots of laughs, over a bottle of wine, amongst close friends!

I got home and slept for 11 hours after that. And it wasn't because of the wine because I was stone cold sober by that time! What a night! ;~/ It was great though, so thank you. I love you!
