Last night, Sean and I sat in his car and listened to his favorite songs. We watched the vicious, winter wind blow tree limbs. He looked at me and smiled "the trees are dancing," he said. He is one on of my favorite friends and I'm glad he shares his life with me. Once, he took me to the monster truck show and encouraged me to dress for the occasion. He is a fun friend for me.

a week long celebration of life:
whip cream pie-face Mexican restaurant style, crack fries, Chinese buffet, blue wigs, best friends, and a photo booth Missy called me while I was at Connie's Fried Chicken eating my birthday donut. She asked "Do you feel older?" I replied "No, I just feel more fun." I feel most ALIVE when I am traveling, eating, listening to music, dancing, and spending time with friends. I filled up my gas tank and headed for Nashville. I'm lucky enough to have friends that let me sleep on their couch *cough cough* Ginger. We were tourist at The Loveless Cafe, where you don't have to be famous to eat there. We ate freshly baked biscuits with butter & jam, the best fried chicken, and complimentary chocolate pie (birthday love). My friend, Jake, works in the gift shop and he was tickled to see a Mississippi friend. It's CRAZY how many people post to your Facebook page when it's your birthday. Seriously, I loved every post. I went to the Foobar and met up with my #instafriend Chris. A guy named Richie in a sailor hat and striped shirt sang songs about girls in animal print. My favorite brunchy place in Nashville is the Stone Fox. I enjoy the psychedelic decor, the blt w/avocado, the quirky coffee mugs, and the comedic waiters (Buddy & Ethan.) My friend, Amy, told me that my life is a Dallas Clayton illustration. His illustrations are inspiring, fun, and whimsical. I took that as a huge compliment. I really do hope that my life inspires other. I want to be brave. I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, but I know I want to do it, whatever it is. I don't know what I'm going to be when I grow up and that's okay.
I came across this image via pinterest a few days ago. It really made me question what I wanted in my garden & what I was doing to make those things grow? Everyone knows that in order to grow a garden you must work hard and pray for sunshine. I thought of all the things I needed to weed out of my garden (unhealthy relationships, negative thoughts, etc.) |
