We finally come to the last of the Arizona pictures. I already miss the sunshine and lazy days, and all this snow that Chicago is getting today doesn't excite me in the least. I want palm trees and hummingbirds and fresh grapefruits, please! (These pictures were actually taken on the coldest day of vacation. It was sunny, but very windy, and I think it was in the 40s for most of the day. Joe and I are seasoned veterans of taking outdoor outfit pictures when it's less than comfortable outside, though, so we braved it for this outfit, since I loved it so much.)
Without getting into it too much, this has been a rough week for me so far. Someone I love very much lost someone that she loves very much, and I have spent much of the week thinking about her. I am consistently at a loss for words in these situations, unable to make sense of my feelings, and worried that no matter what I say, things remain as they are. I ache for my friend, I dearly miss her and my other friends from that phase of my life, and I hate that I can't be there with her and with them right now.
It's no surprise, I'm sure, that when we lose someone we are reminded to be the best person possible. The most loving, the kindest, the most supportive and encouraging version of ourselves. There's no time, and no point, to harshness, rudeness, or unhappiness, and all the reason in the world to embody love and friendship to the people in our lives. So, in lieu of a more eloquent set of thoughts, I urge each of you to tell the people in your life that you love them. Give someone a hug. Make someone a cup of cocoa. Smile. Be yourself, in the best possible way.
