Live, Laugh, Love

Last night, I drove home in order to help my mom clean out her classroom for the summer (today was the last day of school her, whoo!). Everything went pretty well, it's usually a disaster by June so it takes a lot of man-power but I got what I could done. Anywho, another reason I was coming home was because one of her colleagues was throwing a "birthday party" but instead of it being for one person it was for everyone in the summer months. Great idea huh? Get it all done with in one swoop so there isn't the struggle to get everyone together during the break. So even though my birthday is in June, this party was not for me, it was for my mom and 3 of her friends.

It was an amazing time--- mai tai's, delicious food, presents, cake, and lots of laughter. When I would slip away, I kept thinking, these women are friends because (mostly) of where they work and their general interests in the same things. Their ages, children's ages, marital status, and hobbies all vary greatly but they still make for a great group of amazing women. I was wondering does everyone have this group of friends who they can turn to for a fun time or for comfort when times are down? I have friends, some better than others, some the "best"; I hope that these relationships last "forever" but will they? and what happens when they don't? Will I find new friends? I' m not sure of the answer but I guess that's what the fun is in not knowing your future.

As I write this I am reminded of "Sex and the City", four friends who have each other to confide in, love and have fun with. BUT they are fake, made up, just some characters out of someones mind and they decided to give it a go on T.V. then the silver screen. I don't want to look up to a t.v. show. I want to look up to the people who have guided me in life, some my teachers in elementary school and others I newly met, I saw the real thing tonight, something that I want to have throughout my journey in life.

Other than my new revelation, there is not much else to discuss. My first 1/2 of the summer semester is almost over, which means finals and then a new class is to start after that. I will start therapy on Thursday which I am super excited about so YAY!
p.s. no update on my list ;)
