Fun Friday

Here it is! After being quite inconsistent about blogging, I have made 3 entries today. Whew! If only I could keep up with it every or every other day.

Fun Friday is Friday the 13th. Don't know about you, but I have always enjoyed Friday the 13th, and I am not talking about the movie (gruesome).

Because it is supposed to be a day of bad luck, I have always enjoyed going out of my way to make it a good day. In years past, my best friend, Brandy, and I would find wonderful ways to be silly and enjoy the day. As adolescents, we danced around the apartment to Rick James' "SuperFreak", feeling so cool. Oh. We WERE cool. Wink. Wink. Okay. We just liked to think it; but, that is part of the fun of being young. AHHH...memories...

Approaching my daughter's first and my fortieth birthday in December, I am becoming nostalgic and reflective. For those of you who have already hit that 40 mark, did it affect you this way? Did it affect you at all?

I am nostalgic for days like those with Brandy. Or, my other bestest friend, Michelle, and I watching the movie, "Jude", for our New Year's Eve celebration. If you have seen, "Jude", you know this is an 'interesting' way to bring in the New Year. Or, riding around the U-District with Ted and Ryan, while listening to Jane's Addiction. That was before Ted and I were married, or even a couple. Or, so many other wonderful moments in my life.

Today is 'Fun Friday'. It is Friday the 13th. I am nearing 40 and feeling nostalgic. It is time to enjoy this day, and create more moments for which to be nostalgic. Today's fun will be with my husband and daughter. They are the ones who will be filling my 'memory box' in the future, along with my wonderful new friends and neighbors in New Hampshire.

This 'Fun Friday', I wish you all a day of luck...NOT, the superstitious BAD luck of this Friday the 13th. Take a moment, reflect, enjoy, and make some more fun times to reflect on:)
