Where melancholy meets the road!

Feeling in the dumps...leave it on the road.  Works every Time! 

Melancholy

It's been a nice long weekend.  

I slept in until 10:00 one day, spent hours in the ministry.....helped with a wedding. A friends brother inlaw died and we've had hot dogs and a fire. Seems so schizophrenic! 

The whole thing has left me feeling humble and reflective.  From the time we're little girls we dream and plan of our wedding.  Then the day comes and goes so fast!  It's so nice to see old friends while at the wedding but the "time out" of our daily routine seems so short. Then a very quick few decades flash by and because of death, we're alone again.   I know the reason all his happens. It's the whole theme of the bible. I also know this won't last forever. 

I'm so thankful for my life. The everyday moments that fill my heart. A bride's radiant smile. The thoughts of what life will be like together.  A warm fire and a glass of wine. A long dog at my feet and the cutest bald guy on the planet by my side. Friends!  What would life be like without them?!  

I hope for more weekends like this one. When all of our friends feel good enough to come. When there's no cancer, missing family or hospital vigils.   Until that time, I want to be part of them all. To share moments with my friends and family. To have shared experiences that we can look back on with a sigh or a song in our heart.
