Saturday night was a time of renewal for me and some friends. My good friends Erika and Brandie wanted to treat me to dinner and a movie for my birthday, they are so sweet and we had a blast! So I went to meet Erika at her house and her friend Demeri was there, she is a single mom and I'm sure needed renewal herself so we invited her to come along. We went to Benja Thai and for the first time in a long time we just let go and had fun, we laughed so much that poor Erika's jaw came out of joint. The food was amazing and everything was just fun. That is the best word I can think of, you know you always use that word without a lot of meaning, well at least I do, but when you really experience good old "FUN" it kind of gives you a new feeling for such a simple word.
Oh my goodness I was so full I could hardly move, but the food was so good I couldn't stop eating, and the sticky rice with mango for desert. YUM!! I couldn't leave any of that on my plate, no way! So after dinner we went back to Erika's so she could feed her baby and Demeri decided to stay while we went and saw 27 Dresses. That was a cute movie, the theater was packed full of loud crazy women and I think that was almost more entertaining than the movie. A lady right next to me was laughing so loud and yelling things out and then other women would say things back to her. It was hilarious! I have never been to a movie with such a vocal audience.
Thank you Erika and Brandie for treating me to dinner and a movie, and thank you Demeri for coming along, it was a lot of fun to have you there to share in the fun and laughter. I hope you guys were as renewed and uplifted as I was!
So Renewal it was. I have tried many times to get out and spend time with girls and renew myself, but it has never worked so well before. I have been happy and upbeat ever since. I think it will last for a while! Part of me believes that getting older and being more comfortable in my skin is what has made the difference. I am learning how to let go and not be worried about things and be so self conscious. It feels good, I like the way getting older feels and I love that I have cracked open this box of true RENEWAL!

Sasha, I so love this post! It gives you warm fuzzies when you read it! I am so glad you have such good friends and I love your post about "Renewal" So, inspiring!
Aw, I love the term warm fuzzies! Reminds me of Grandma Watkins! I sure miss them, and guess what.. When Dave heard that you went up north he said I should have gone with you. Well maybe next time you go I just might have to come too.
