~ Amelia Earhart
On a recent
evening, I found myself out on a "school night," with one of my children
in tow, on a tour of street art in a part of town I don't usually frequent. We ended up eating dinner late, getting home
even later and not quite happy when the alarm clock when off the next morning
at its usual time. But it was fun!
A few nights
later, I found myself dancing -- with all of my children -- at a place that I
used to frequent in high school. Back in
the day, it required your being 18 or having a fake ID to get in. But it seems to have evolved into a somewhat
family friendly outdoor restaurant with a live band and dj. We danced until we could not dance any more.
As the group of
us left the restaurant, we thanked our hostess and dear friend, who is the queen
of creating unusual opportunities for fun and getting us out of our comfort
zones in the process. Her thoughtfulness
and kindness take us places we normally wouldn't go. And in doing so, she helps us to create new
adventures.
