Sunday Afternoon

I had a pretty good weekend around here. I actually got out and went to brunch at Rays on the River on Sunday with a few friends. Food, conversation and multiple mimosas was the perfect combination on a chilly Sunday afternoon.

I needed that.

Sometimes I feel like I spend every day worrying about someone else. Whether it’s Pookah, CDub, my family or even my patients.  I never take time for me. Oh, I say I do, but really, even while I’m spending that time, I’m worrying about someone else.  Or what else I’ve got to do.

So this weekend, I TOOK  four hours. Just four hours to laugh and cry and commiserate with the women in my life who keep me sane. I don’t talk about them often, but those ladies are my shoulders to cry on. They make me laugh, they give good advice, and one is a substitute mother when mine is not near.

I’m glad they bugged me and rearranged THEIR schedules to include me.

I needed that.

I needed to be able to talk to my girls about where I’m going in life right now, what I want to do, what I’m tired of doing.

I got encouragement, ideas, support.

Sigh.

I needed that.

I didn’t take any pictures. Even though I had my camera with me.

For once, I didn’t worry about putting it on instagram or Facebook or twitter.  I just enjoyed myself.  I lived in the moment without the need to document it.

I needed that too.

How was your weekend? Did you get what you needed?
