just what the dr. ordered

Friendship is certainly
the finest balm
for the pangs
of disappointed love.
(Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey)

(no i didn't have my camera. yes this is from a cell phone)

Well, friendship...AND Peter Cetera (pretty sure if Ms. Austen had known Mr. Cetera, she would have modified the quote).

Whether it was the first slow dance with the the boy I thought I was going to marry in 1986 (yes, I was 14 but come on, it was "Glory of Love", anyone else?) or the World Falling Down album that got me through BYU in 1992, no one does "love song" or "angst song" better than Peter Cetera. And seeing him last night, live, in concert (and it was seriously like someone had me write the set list and then handed it to him), surrounded by some of my favorite people on the planet, was good for my little self. I saw how much I love where I am in my life right now. Things are good.

Cetera night was just what the doctor ordered.

You know, sometimes you don't know how much your little self needed something until you get what you didn't know your little self needed.

(PS If you live in UT, see him LIVE in September. I will, sadly, be working that weekend. But, don't miss it. Seriously. No. Really.)

I'm loving that you are loving your life right now. I am working on...well, almost...loving my life right now, except I'm superduperty tired and if this summer sibling bickering doesn't end I may just lose it...but other than that...yeah...could you bottle that loving life thing you've got going? That or tell me when Cetera in in AZ, please? (The previous comments do not absolutely reflect the opinion of the writer.) :0)
