Rebecca's Birthday Dinner

It's been a rough few weeks, and an especially difficult 24 hours. Attending anyone's celebration just wasn't in me tonight. However, it wasn't about me, it was about my friend, Rebecca. So, I decided to keep it moving for a short while & attend her birthday dinner, as I said I would.

Rebecca is a fairly new friend of mine. We met at the gym, probably over a year ago, but weren't 'hang out' friendly till we bumped into each other at last year's Fairfield Half-Marathon. Since then, we've developed a growing friendship. She's a nice girl with a good heart. I'm happy to know her & was honored to be asked to her birthday dinner.

Dinner turned out to be a perfectly good time with all the elements that would make an evening 'pleasant.' I met new people, who were lovely, the food was yummy, which made me very happy as I restricted myself from eating as of 2:00p.m. & had worked out, and Rebecca smiled & laughed away. I think that was all I needed to see to realize I made the right choice by attending. Truthfully, she would have been perfectly fine & happy without my presence, however it was nice to have been part of the celebration.

I hope she has a wonderful & blessed rest of the year.
