You might think that it would be a little lonely over here in California, away from home and from the routine of my daily life for such an extended period of time. But, it is not. And while I really do miss my friends and I miss my gym and I miss having an office that has a door that closes out the noise, the truth is, there is something about this place that just makes me happy.
Maybe it is the weather and how it's always so lovely and mild. Maybe it is the ocean and how it's just out the backdoor. Maybe it is the bar that is always open or the food that is always made in mass.
Whatever it happens to be, I find that this place seems to make other people happy, too, because unlike at home, people come here. To visit. To enjoy with us what we are blessed enough to be able to share.
Big J's friends, my friends, the littles' besties and family we love and adore. It is a very rare day when there is a bedroom free, and if I am completely honest, that is just exactly the way I like it. Summer has become about relaxing, about reconnecting. About slowing down for awhile. About simply soaking in the moments and spending happy times with those we care about.
Sometimes our visitors overlap. Sometimes my people overlap with the littles' people. Sometimes Big J's with mine. I love when this happens because I love our friends and family to meet one another. To interact with each other. To share their interests. To connect.
These experiences can be incredible opportunities for seemingly opposite worlds to intersect, combine. Opportunities for truly beautiful music to be made. Last night was no exception.
Enjoy.
