tonight, we threw a surprise birthday party for my friend amy. it's her big 3-0, a shiny new decade. we had good food (lots! including the amazing jalapeno ranch dressing!) and music (mixed by moi... and i didn't even include a brit brit song) and company. starr made six--yes, SIX--cakes decorated with icing and flowers. i hope amy was surprised! she has been such a good friend for (a little) over 5 years now, and we have both seen each other through some pretty trying times along with the good laughs.
at some point tonight, i found myself so enjoying the company of others. i wish i had moments like that more often when i can remove whatever is dark inside me in order to be present in the company of others and just smile. life is not all bad. people are not all bad. i can be happy.
