Happy Birthday Deb!
It was my girlfriend's birthday and I had forgotten that I had told her a couple of weeks back that I would take her out for her birthday! As I was busy trying to get everything to fit into my day I became aware that I had committed myself to one more thing. Or rather, a text message on my phone reminded me of my offer of a celebration!
Deb drove into my driveway as I walked out of the house with a 'Happy Birthday' tiara on my head, a light-up necklace around my neck and a BIG birthday cookie/cake and gift in my hands.
Deb let out a squeal and her whole body exuded excitement.
All of my fatigue from the day dissipated.
We skipped into the first honky tonk downtown Nashville, ate a quick meal of something made of grease, fried in grease. We greeted our friends, the musicians, listened as they sang to Deb her birthday song and went to another honky tonk.
Our fun attitude and loud laughs attracted new friendships, as did Deb's birthday announcements on her head and around her neck.
We laughed, we made new friends, we danced and went home with memories and phone numbers of new friends.
All of this was a reward for being my word. I had committed myself and I went...and I am so glad I did!
Another great night - Deb's celebration and Music City - all wrapped in birthday paper with a big bow on top.
