One day, one hour, one minute at a time has it's advantages.
Got Ma out to Joanie's tonight - multiple hours hanging with wonderful, loving, happy friends. Ma loved the attention - chatting with folks her own age, her age + decades, her age minus multiple decades. Nothing forced, nothing fake, nothing other than real people talking to someone who they found worth talking to.
Home now, Barb & Louis down from CT, Sepha from the Lutheran church next town over is here as well. Bottle o' port, bottle o' red, occasional tap into the bottle o' 151. Eclipsing three in the ayem, sitting here exploring everybody's ipod collections, fun links, and overall general silly and sweet and bitter and amazing and cherished memories.
Crying to Big & Rich singing 8th of November, dancing to Gypsy Kings, giggling at Barb's silly boy band music.
Life has it's challenges. Life has it's rough spots. Life has it's wonder, joy, love, happiness, and amazement.
Life is good. Friends, family (however you define family), and the experiences they bring are beyond compare. I am truly blessed.
