Guitars and Coffee

Tonight my friend had a show at a coffee shop. These times have started to become the times that I look most forward to. You never know who you are going to meet at these things, and plus the music in the background is awesome too! This particular friend, I am most proud of. I believe I have been to every show he has ever played since I met him and his talent never seems to old. I would even say that with every show, he gets better and better at it. The same songs are sung, and I love that I can sing along now too. It's moments like these that warm my heart. I can look around at a group of people most of whom I don't know, but they are all there to support the same person. Everyone is carrying in their own conversations, but no one is in a bad mood. Who goes to a concert in a bad mood?? Maybe someone, but a lot of the people I know, don't. At least not to local shows like this one. Everyone has a great time. I laugh and wonder if having thoughts like this make me sound like an old grandma. You know the kind of older ladies who end up just sitting back people-watching, not paying any attention to anyone in particular, just enjoying the moment. I like having those moments. If it makes me sound old, oh well! I am glad that I get to go to bed tonight feeling that I have lived today to its extent. And to my talented friend, keep on rocking out...I will never grow tired of hearing you play!! Love you and goodnight.

Shadows

I had a great epiphany come to me while I was sitting at work today. I am excited to be the shadow of my husband. I am not married now, and I can't say I want to be married tomorrow. I do think I have reached a point in my life where I know more about myself and I am ready to be in a relationship that is headed towards marriage. It's amazing how much more I feel I know about myself even from just last year. But I'm getting off track. I was gazing outside at all the trees around and the shadows from them that move as the wind moves the trees. And I started thinking about how with every minute of the day, those shadows move as the sun moves. It reminded me of a husband and wife. Shadows can be like seasons in life. I can use my friends as an example right now since I have so many that are near and dear to me. I love for my friends to be right beside me sometimes in things in my life...there is a point where you may be walking outside and your shadow is directly next to you. There are other times when you need friends to push you a little, and be behind you. Then I need times where I want to be the follower...you get the point. This is how I want to be for my husband. I know that most men want to know that no matter what, their spouse is going to stick beside them, but I like the thought that sometimes they need their wife to give them a little push and support and they always need to be the leader of the relationship. Just a thought I had today...and I liked it :)

Blue Skies

I am just in awe of how blue the sky can be. I feel as though with each new day, the sky can be a totally different shade of blue every time. I absolutely LOVE IT! I just finished putting me son-of-a-gun desk together in my new office. I decided to set up the desk so that I can look out the window at those blue ridge mountains. I have the window open so that I may breathe fresh air. It's awesome..truly awesome. Don't you love that little warm feeling you get in your heart when you can look out your window and just feel "home". I love that where I am right now....where I am living..it's home.
