Recently, time stopped for a very special and unique soul.
She was a social and fashion forward woman I served through my job. Through
honoring her life by telling stories and remembering her joking ways I am
reminded to take a deep breath (because I can) and to take in everything I can
about the good moments when they come my way. Learning to take advantage of the
good times is my way of making it through this crazy life.
There are a lot of moments in my life when I feel time stop,
although maybe pause is a better word. These moments are most often the times I
spend with my silly family and the times I spend with friends that I choose to
call family. I feel incredibly blessed to experience so many of these moments
and continue breathing when the next moment comes.
In the last few weeks time has paused when I chat with my
best friend and love on her newborn daughter, when I stand at the waterfront
and watch my friends attempt to light lanterns, when I dance the night away
after witnessing an awesome couple vow their lives to each other, when I cheers
to life with Italian Margaritas shared with fun girls, when I am invited to
celebrated the birthday of a long time friend, when I go vintage shopping with
my parents and my aunts, when I eat crepe, and when I celebrate the marriage of
a fun couple at an annual anniversary party.
Time is a weird thing. Sometimes it speeds by and sometimes
is passes in slow motion. All in all, there is never enough. It is the moments when time is irrelevant that I know
something special is happening and it is those moments that I remember when all
else fails.
