This has been a fun and amazing weekend for me. There have been moments of joy, sadness, euphoria, and stress. I spent the weekend with two of my dearest childhood girlfriends. We laughed, remembered, and made new memories. We loved, giggled, and made plans for the future. We celebrated, shared, and made sure that we are always there for each other. We told funny stories about ourselves, our children, our grandchildren, and our mates. We took a chance on a slot machine or two, enjoyed an adult beverage, and did a lot of people watching.
We had lunch on Saturday at Posada's in South Shreveport where we planned to do a little shopping. I remembered the last time I ate at that restaurant. It was for my nephew's graduation party. It was the last time I ever ate at a restaurant with my father. It was a great flashback and reminded me of all that I have to be grateful for this Thanksgiving season. It reminded me that no matter what - your family (that you are born with and that you choose as family) are really all you can count in on in life. Money can't buy happiness. But family that you love and friends you can count on are worth more than any bank balance you will ever amass.
In remembering this weekend - I will always remember how blessed I am!
