Dishes and Deep Thoughts

“Things never change…”

How many times have I heard that phrase? or thought it myself?

Things never changing is a sad and dangerous illusion that we all have felt at some point. For me, it took my mother’s death to really drive home the point of it being an illusion.

There have been many metaphors for life and our journey through it. A bowl of cherries, a sad struggle, a whole spectrum of perspectives on this existence. One that came to me when doing the dishes of all things works for me right now.

It’s much like a fun house ride, maybe one of those bumper cars. We’re all on the same ride, even if different parts of it. It takes a lot of twists and turns with some pretty hard hits along the way. We all know how it started and how it will end, even if we don’t know when.

Things always change, even when we don’t realize it.

Monday Night

Went to The Varsity with Angela, Andy and his family to celebrate Dr. Ray’s graduation from Emory University!

This was the first time I’d eaten at the location downtown and was THE FIRST time Angela had EVER eaten there! For myself, I’d went all out; a chili slaw dog, a chili cheese steakburger, onion rings, an orange squishy and fried peach pie. The onion rings had left a puddle in the bottom of the container they were so greasy! I’m sure as dinner digests tonight it will be a memorable experience for all.

In other news, I had the Flu last week (that seems to have become an annoying case of allergies, BTW). Tuesday I’d felt a little off and by that night I was laid up with a 101 degree temp. Ended up calling in Wednesday and it took some of the wind out of my 28th birthday Thursday. Still, Angela made the experience So much more bearable with her company and her cooking, thanks Baby!

Sunday, Angela and I went to The High Museum of Art to check out the Degas exhibit. It was a lot of fun and the work was great. I’d won the tickets from the website for Creative Loafing! Remember kids, free is good.
