i turned 36 last week. this hasn't been the best year, but we went on a nice long weekend to see my most favorite musician . we haven't missed a concert at Blossom, but jimmy skipped blossom this year....and for anyone who is a parrot head knows "a labor day weekend show' will always be a blast.
i remember being 15 and my mom telling me she was taking me to a concert with her friends. i remember thinking "oh great, an old people concert" (sorry, ma!) but remember it like it was yesterday and it's been 17 years. i remember being at peace, and in the moment.
when jimmy took the stage last weekend, i cried. during the show , my hubs saw how happy and relaxed i was and told me it almost made him cry. literally. who cries at a BUFFETT concert?? there's something so peaceful and amazing about his presence. i suppose that's why his following is as large as it is. the camaraderie between parrot heads is just something you don't "get" until you experience it.
my resolution for my 36th year is to continue to be present in life. not worry about what my email box is telling me or the decisions i have to make at work. focus on the good stuff, the stuff that makes me smile in my soul. jimmy is better than yoga :)
FINS UP :)
