Slackers Are .... well, ME!
Okay....so it is now May, well at least for another day or too, and LIFE has been keeping me busy!!! I did allot more traveling.....Pittsburgh,PA to share a great weekend with some old friends as well as new friends in the Music Biz, great times, thanks Jared & Brooke especially!! I also made a trek back to Jersey for St. Patrick's Day celebrations...thank you again to Suzie for an awesome time on the North Jersey shore this venture....LBI never tasted so good as it did with you girl!! I also ran a "Tough-Mudder-like" race for Breast Cancer with two amazing women & gave a new meaning to the word 'caboose' LOL. And of course I ventured to Western PA a few times as well to see my wonderful family & my amazing childhood friends too. What a ride it has been & I'm still skidding across pavement at times, however always enjoying the jaunts!
Which brings me to #3: Spend more time with people I love....my family. FAMILY is a big word in my BOOK of life. Without my family, I really wouldn't exist. I am blessed with the most giving Mother anyone could ever ask for. She is my ROCK & my SALVATION & her banner over me is LOVE. And as we all know...Sunday is God's day, he is always watching over you & you can at least give him one hour a week to show him how grateful you are!! Love you Mama!! I also have a brilliant sister who challenges my mind on a daily basis & whom I love sharing time with in the small clips that I get to see her in...talk about me being busy, I scratch no surfaces like she does....not even CLOSE! Love you bunches Sissy!! And then there is my Italian Family ... you know who you are ... I need not name names .... you are the extensions of my heart that God gave to me ... for that I am forever grateful ... in my heart & in my soul I will always be Italian ... but by my blood I am a Hungarian bread-loving German Dutch girl - yup I just said all that!!
But I think one of my fav parts of my family is the Jersey Family I have ... they make me laugh hysterically ... they make me cry at times because I love them so much .... and they give me something that no one else does ... a very safe haven & memories of yesteryear that no one could ever replace. I am most content at the ocean ... this I know. It is where I find my love every year. I can sit on the sand & relax ... not that I do that thing (relax) very often at all. I can read an entire book if I want to, I can sit alone & think about nothing & everything all at once & be okay with that, and I can look out at a bench at the top of 7th St & remember when I got in a ton of trouble there at age 15 with a certain unsaid BFF from my childhood. As well as when I sat on that same bench as a child & the ice cream truck would come & my Father would reach in his pockets & hand me change & I would smile as if he just gave me a pony. It is contenting for me to be near the water. I always find my peace there as well as gain perspective & piece of mind.
This past weekend, I was there again, with my Jersey Family, watching it all unfold, cherishing the memories, feeling the love. Because .... when love is in the air, not even one strong wind can break a sail, nor can a pirate with a hooked claw take a man down or make him a ghost in sea.. Thank you to everyone who made my weekend special & to all the people who fed me, bed me & made my heart smile :)
