Last night I attended a very lovely party which provided me my THIRD thanksgiving dinner of the year. Mmm... three thanksgivings... I am officially full now. Last night we had two turkeys and a sirloin roast along with all the fixin's, appetizers, desserts, beer/wine/booze and a table set for 30. The night was, as Borat would say, a great success.
Props to Shelly and Dave for continually pulling off the best parties in town.
A comment made at the party got me thinking about relationships. Someone said something to the effect of: life is a series of short experiences and fleeting bonds between people strug together and no one is ever connected for life. This made me think of Kelly. She and I have been best friends for 13 years and our friendship has definitely had its ups and downs and at times has been anything but easy - but when you find someone you truly love, that becomes more important than any problems that arise. But its work! Its work to be patient, selfless, conscientious, supportive, giving, forgiving and all the other things a friendship or any relationship can require at any given moment for extended periods of time. Especially because these are not always constantly mutual. But, if you truly love a person, maintaining your relationship should be worth the effort it takes.
Somewhat related is the fact that I spent a good part of Friday watching The Notebook and P.S. I Love You. If these movies dont make you cry at some point, you have no heart. If these movies dont inspire some sort of belief in true love, you are uninspirable and a hack.
My friend Jess says that its a proven fact that optimistic people are delusional, but at this point I would rather be delusional than realistic and miserable.

Dude, that's a nice rejoinder to all of us "I'm a pessimist and you should be too" types. Well done.
