There is that point in the day sometimes where you feel so drained and exhausted, but keep on going because you hope that the day will eventually bring something grand.
That was yesterday. Long day downtown at class then went home, wasn't feeling so great, took a nap, and awoke in a funk. Then I logged online and had a message from my lovely friends- it all started with Justin's idea for us to go out and celebrate each other @ Big Star in Chicago.
How lovely. Everyone always has something to be celebrated. Anthony was arriving back from California, I just had started my last year of college, Laura and Jess started teaching CPS again this fall, Brad was going to NYC to visit the lovely Camilla, Devin is amazing and launched Real Good Studio (couldn't stay for dinner though, sad ), Josh is new to Chicago from California and is also amazing, Ali got a new job! , Jon is back in school @ Moody and playing rad music, and Justin just loves all of us enough to organize a dinner (and of course is also amazing).
To be known and desired is to be loved.
I appreciate my wonderful community beyond belief. Each person has something amazing and unique to offer. When one person is feeling down another is on a high, that is how the heart beat keeps going. We keep each other afloat through quality time, conversation, love, prayer, encouragement, laughter, breaking bread, & just the simple things of life mean so much more when we do them together. You are all so dear to my heart.
