bartender make it a double

no it hasn't been that kind of day. well not yet anyway.. but i got to thinking today as i drove home for lunch under a gorgeous carolina blue sky, just the right temperature to roll down the windows and just enjoy the drive. - didnt hurt to have a little jack johnson playing either... how lucky i really am.

and not to be arrogant about it, but how sometimes life just deals you a good hand (one you'd go ALL IN for- and step away from the table and watch the river card practically sing to you).. anyway.. so i was thinking about all the people in my life and how thankful i am to have such good friends and family to laugh with and support and be supported.. (looks like i've got the making of a great grammy award winner speech going..)

but then i kind of took a sharp right and i thought of how i met a few of these fine folks - and immediately bars across america and well the globe for that matter sprang to mind. as many of you know i had the good fortune to stumble upon my wonderful husband in a richmond watering hole.. and for the record i was not the one doing the stumbling.. and then meeting a very close dear friend of mine in a beach bar we both graced with our presence and lack of work ethic one brilliant summer... and the discovery of a mutual love of things called woo woo's that truly can create a life long bond.. and a shared path of another good friend meeting her hubby in mc donalds - ok so perhaps not a bar at first glance but i do believe that particular joint in sydney did serve beer along with burgers.. and my sister in law in the middle of idaho, in possibly the smallest small town bar meeting her boyfriend. and how can i forget all of the life lessons and sound advice given within the confines of those walls... see folks... bars=good. good people, good times, good refreshment. ha ha.

so it just goes to show that you never know what your life will bring you or where you will go or who will quite literally fall into your lap. but i think the important part is to take notice and remember how lucky you are to have such wonderful people around you. and heck if they like to have a good time, well all the better. CHEERS!
