Today has been a lazy day for me and I'm not even sure why I'm feeling the way I am. There's something down deep inside of me that is off yet I can't quite lay a finger on it. This weekend has been an interesting one and one that has touched my heart. After hearing from my mother and how down she was, I decided to drive down and spend the night with her (she was all alone) and I showed up with flowers and a big surprise she wasn't even expecting. And seeing the look on her face and how excited she was that her little girl had come home for her, touched me so deeply. Spending the next day with her and feeling like it was those old times when it was just me and her when everything was so much less complicated.
Then on the way home I met a friend on the spur of the moment that I was missing so badly. And seeing her and laughing and giggling and just being our awkward selves, made my day and again made me miss those old days when nothing was so complicated, when nothing meant anything except an afternoon of fun and laughs and good times. Sometimes we want so badly to grow up that we forget about how life used to be and it takes moments like those I had this weekend to remember what that feels like to just enjoy life. To see the smiles on our own faces again and remember what that felt like. And while we still have to grow up, we can still keep that little light childish smile that reminds us of so many good memories that we'll never in our whole lives forget.
