A little moonlight in my world

I just got back from a lovely trip to Monroe,Washington, my old stomping grounds of  younger days. I went to help out an old high school friend with her daughters baby shower. Its my friends first grandchild. I have to admit, when you get a houseful of ladies of all ages in one room-it can get very comical, crazy and outright entertaining! A good time was had by all. I  had the pleasure of putting one of the soon to be moms baby gifts in a gag box. The box had an infant sucking out of a giant gerbil-like water bottle hooked to the crib. It touted to be the best new invention in baby care. haha.!! The funniest part of that was, once she opened it....there were many in the room that thought it was an actual gift and didn't question the authenticity....!!! If you could only hear the laughter in my head...priceless. However, the mom to be laughed herself silly. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She has my heart and smiles.
I had the rest of the weekend to spend with a few girlfriends from my old high school days, eating in quaint old town cafe's and staying up late having the most amazing talks and watching a scary movie that was based on a true story " The shadow people" ( jury is still out on this one in my opinion, lol) Some of the discussions were about faith and religion. It was a very intense talk. We all were bouncing off of each other-our beliefs, what we questioned, how we connected in such. The greatest thing about it was, there was no slamming, no arguments, no negatives; just good banter, knowing each other better, all positive and a little uplifting of each other. Many people cannot debate this subject without dividing each other.
Love and respect is the answer. Period.
To get to the end of my week, happy- but so very tired for the lack of any real major sleep....I find myself surprised that many moons have come and gone and at my age, I was doing quite well with the little slumber I obtained. I didn't partake in alcohol or coffee either. I felt pretty refreshed and happy.....go figure! But there it is...I'm not as old as the number of years I've been on this ever rolling earth that has a claim on me! What's in a number? It's your soul, heart and wellbeing that keeps you kicking with joy and anticipation of what's to become of your life next.
I am lucky to have been shown new and exciting doors to open for new chapters I get to write for my life. Just when I thought I was running out of breath and gumption...here I am with a passion in my heart and a hunger for more reading and knowledge in my new path this year.

I am however going to take time to sleep when my friend the moon comes to call. He gives me the extra energy I need to revive my body so it keeps up with my mind- all I want to accomplish!!!
I wish for all of you to get out of your comfort zone once in a while and grab hold of that unknown door handle and whip it open and step inside. It's a rush of fresh air!
Enjoy
Peace out~
Your best blogger friend ;)  Lisa
