This past weekend was one of the best I can remember in a long while. Having my new friends and my old friends all together was a great experience, but it left me thinking how I appeared to them. Everyone acts differently around certain people and I wondered how this was affecting me. I hope I'm genuine enough that the real me is what everyone sees.
In Memphis, there is one place I love to go above all others. Memphis has the largest park-within-a-city (that’s a technical term) in the country, and a portion of the park is the off-leash dog area. It is no secret that I love my dog more than some of my friends, so getting to go there and watch him run and play with the other dogs makes my heart warm. On Saturday*, I got to go with some of my favorite people. The weather was perfect, the friends were perfect, the dog was perfect. I don’t think we always take into consideration how much the weather plays on our moods,** but the weather that day just cemented how I was feeling. It was the perfect start to the day.
I won’t go into the details of the party, but it was wonderful too. I am truly blessed by the people I am honored to call my friends and I don’t know where I would be without them. This was probably the best birthday I’ve had in quite awhile and I don’t want the feelings to slip away just yet.

* - the actual day of my birth
** - the weather was a balmy fifty or so Fahrenheit.. Last year on my birthday, school was cancelled because of the snow. Isn’t it funny how the weather, and the girl, can change in one year?
