This evening I was given a special gift. My in-laws took my children for the night, and my husband and I took a mini vacation with some friends. We very rarely get a "free pass" and so it was quite a treat. We headed up to the ski valley, and enjoyed and evening hanging out with, and catching up with old friends.
It being the holiday season, a lot of people were back in town. I saw friends I hadn't seen in years. It is interesting how old friends can transport you back in time, and make you feel ten years younger. And yet in the middle of a huge crowd, surrounded only by other adults, I was reminded of my children.
As I was talking to some friends Adele's "Rumor Has It" came on over the stereo. My kids love Adele, and as a matter if fact, they know all the words to "Rumor Has It." There I was, kids no where to be seen, and they were all I could think of. That little reminder of my current self, in the midst of all the reminders of my past self, was beautiful.
