Another Big Birthday

So, besides my daughter turning 13 earlier this week, my wife is hitting the big "4-0" next week. So last night, we had a very small surprise dinner for her and enjoyed a great meal with great friends at a great restaurant. (ahhh...the pork tenderloin melted in your mouth...and the 18-year-old Macallan was from heaven) She was surprised, especially that I had chosen an "ok" outfit for her to change into before going to the restaurant. It was a beautiful night in the midst of a not-so-beautiful week.

But that's how life is, isn't it? Moments of beauty intertangled with moments of ugliness. Laughs of joy, tears of sorrow, good choices, bad choices, failures and successes. This is the stuff of life, but through it all, life is good.

Life is good...

By the way, if you have not seen the movie The Family Stone, rent it and watch it sometime in the next couple of weeks.
