This is one of those pictures: It's almost nothing to anyone else, but when I see it I am right back on the river bank of the Salzach and I can feel the sun, see the beautiful sky line of an old European city through my squinted eyes, and hear my friends' laughter.
It is peace. It is bliss. It is nothing but a lazy afternoon. It is a perfect moment.
My sister's rehearsal dinner.
Family love is forever.
(Yes, we were all sobbing)
Picnic. Summer. Lush grass. Cool night. JUMP!
High School Theater. The green room, the stage, hunting for props, signing the wall, singing to RENT in the girl's dressing room, painted white, tea parties. Being alive.
I guess not so much an individual moment, but one beautiful shot that represents three years of joy.
I miss them, those friends and those places and those times but they will always be a part of who I am. I'm different, and so are they, but seeing these reminds me of how good life can be, and why I should keep looking forward to tomorrow.

What great pictures and captions! I hope the recovery from your surgery is smooth, and as fast as possible! :)
Thank you for visiting and commenting on my silly blog! :)
Gee whiz, I love being first! :D
First of all I am so glad that you happened upon my blog so I could do the same to yours. It is so funny because, recently I was thinking about that very same theatre picture. I love how you put it. "I'm different, and so are they...". Because that is how I feel. I love those moments and thinking of them puts me back in that place. In a lot of ways am that very same girl. But, in so many more I am changed and different. That is how it works. But, I hope that all of us though we change will always be able to look back at those moments and feel, see, touch, and taste those experiences. And, I hope that we will always be friends enough to remember, relive, enjoy, and keep those lovely times together.
Darn bad days.. loves to you. Hope all is well now. Thanks for always leaving such nice comments! You are one of my favorite bloggy friends!
Hi there - just dropping by from the wild world of the internet and thought I'd say hi. Adorable blog!
the last picture (the theater one) makes me miss theater too. I did mention that I did theater all of high school? Well if I didn't, I did theater all of high school. Two of my sisters went to high school with me and did theater with me, so some days we sit around their apartment and sing along to musicals and talk about how much we miss theater. I miss "finding random objects to put in silly actors' hands most" (I LOVE props and was the bomb dot com when it came to being a props master; when ever we were doing big productions, I knew I wasn't going to get cast in the show because it would call for a billion props)
keep feeling better, and know that I am thinking of you and praying for you and sending you love
