So, despite the fact that I spent a good portion of my weekend icing and elevating my poor ankle, this has been one of the best weekends that I can remember in a long time. Why? Simply because I spent the entire weekend with people whom I love and adore and just having fun!
Saturday night was amazing. I spent the evening listening to live music in the village and having dinner and drinks with my first true friend, and her husband. We met on the first day of pre-school and were inseparable until she moved. Life took us on different paths but we reconnected last year and picked up like we never missed a beat! Seriously.....not a beat! That is a true friend. And that kind of friendship is rare!
Sunday, I spent the day with my family as we celebrated my grandmother's 75th birthday. The entire day was filled with laughter, love and good food. And everyone there just cheering each other on. My grandmother who acknowledged her three quarter century milestone, my aunt who just fought the fight of her life against breast cancer and came up swinging, my cousin who made my grandmother a birthday card with 75 in Reeses peanut butter cups....this is the stuff of life!
I came home and caught up with a friend. As we shared our weeks in review, I realized. I have been defining my year by the losses that I suffered. And believe me, I lost a lot in 2010. But, I am a lucky, lucky girl. I reconnected with friends, gained freedom, and always have had my family and FUN! What more could a girl ask for?
