Last night after I finished work around 8, I drove about an hour to go say congratulations to a friend moving and starting a new chapter in her life. I watched one of her friends openly cry because while she is so happy for our mutual friend, it also means a chapter in her own life is closing. She will be stepping into the unknown and sometimes that's scary. Initially I didn't get the raw tears, but I realized on my drive back home people show emotions differently. I'm going to miss my friend just as much, but my way of embracing that feeling of loss was simply to plan right there the next time we'll have a reunion.
This morning was pretty perfect - I woke up and went to one of my favorite zumba classes, went to see a movie by myself, and watched two world cup matches. As I started to prepare to go out, a sadness swept over me because I realized that when I was having a bad day in the past - I called 2505 Memphis, my grandparents house. One of their voices always made me smile so quickly and forget all the small problems. But I also know they wouldn't want me sad, so I wiped the tears away picked up the computer and I started typing. I'm not even upset that I have on mascara and a cute outfit, because I'm going to finish my day with a glass of wine, catching up on So You Think You Can Dance and getting a decent night's sleep so I can get some food for my soul at the early Sunday service.

It's true, people can make your stomach hurt the same way that food can. They are pretty similar...If you eat too much, eat food that's rotten or eat the wrong types - your stomach is bound to hurt sometimes. It doesn't mean you stop eating, you recognize what was wrong and make changes.
