Bella Blue Burlesque

Last night I was on stage dancing and I look to my right to see my 2 dearest friends sitting next to each other goofing off. Mocking each other…moving in sync…and laughing hysterically. They created dance moves that will now forever always be something that’s an inside joke between the 3 of us. They taunted me while I danced and dared me to do the silly dance moves in front of a club full of people. Of course I just laughed and let out a resounding “no!”. My day yesterday started off very badly. It’s been a very challenging week for me and as it nears the holidays, a somber mood tends to take over. I arrived at work prepared to just get some footage done that I needed for a project and then retire my dance shoes for the night and pass to the torch to someone else. I just didn’t have anything else left to give. But as the night went on, and I looked over at my friends, I realized that although my year has been probably more challenging than most that I’ve had, that these are the moments that count and the moments that put it all in perspective. One of these 2 friends will be moving in a few months. I thought about this as I watched over them from my gogo box and decided not to waste anymore time in my sadness and worries because these are the moments I will miss the most when my friend is gone and I knew that I would regret not consuming it all when I had the chance.

The night ended with Clover Grill and a cup of coffee. A day that started so terribly ended so beautifully. I am so lucky to have such wonderful people in my life:)
