So this weekend was Halloween and my best friend Dooley came into town to visit me. She needed an Emily fix in her life hehehe
We had a blast and met up with some friends in Sugarland for some martinis Friday and Saturday we shopped, went running in the park, got ready for halloween, visited some old friends and then celebrated with some new friends and had a yummy brunch the next day.
So I learned alot this weekend about myself and how life works in funny ways. I'm not gonna be very specific as I dont think the whole world needs to know my business ( learned that blogging lesson years ago...) but as generic as possibly can and then maybe someone else can relate it to something they are going through.
Sometimes we lose people we love through odd circumstances. Friends, family members, exes, coworkers, whomever and it hurts when you have a bond with someone and for whatever reason that bond becomes broken. There was a time when i used to avoid doing particular things in fear i could run into some of these broken bonds, however in the last few months i've found this love for myself that i dont care if i see these people. In fact i would love to and hope we can be civil or exchange a smile or something. I learned this weekend that while i'm strong enough for that and that i can put past bonds behind me, that people's behavior still surprises me. People you've known as far back as you can remember can surprise you in the biggest ways. Despite that surprise... I'm ok. In fact I'm fine with it and I can say my life has never been happier... Sometimes we have to loose something to gain something and that is a HUGE blessing.......
In fact Halloween night i am having a blast and my purse was stolen. I'm super mad i lost my new camera in there with my pictures from the entire weekend, that night in my costume, my friends, my dog, my airbrush tan photos. i feel like my privacy has been super invaded. my friends were surprised at my behavior as i was so angry since i never get angry lol i was saying all kinds of profane things and just mad. I mean who wouldnt be ya know? However, its ok. I cant replace those memories which sucks, but I still had my friends, my health, my life... its ok.
Now it was a big hassle to call and cancel my cards, call my office and tell them my phone was stolen blah blah. I didnt know how i was gonna pay for stuff when i had to wait for my new cards to come in. I figured i was going to have to write checks with my passport. Well i was looking for my account info and i found two credit cards that i keep just to have a good credit score but i never use them. SCORE. there was a reason i kept them tucked away. Then i had been looking for my SS card for awhile and i found it last week and you HAVE to have it for a new license.
OMG little blessings and things you dont think about and dont appreciate until it happens. we dont see how God works in little ways along the way until we need them right them and you're like " hahaha God I got it. thanks!" SO anyways, i realized any and every little thing we do can be a huge blessing and that the people who come and go in life are blessings too even before during and after that bond is gone. The bonds that last are just that more special. I have great people in my life that lift me up everyday, make me smile, make me think and make me do my favorite thing... LAUGH. HAHA even if its at myself. Thanks to those awesome friends i have :)
