Appetite for construction

So I have yet another wedding to go to... Yes, 4th wedding I am invited to this year.  I am pretty excited about this one for a few reasons.  First I love the bride to be...  She is the embodiment of beauty and generosity and has always had my back.  Second, the wedding is in New Orleans! I have never been and what better way to discover the city but with locals.  Although I am always so cynical about weddings, I am thrilled for my friend.  Last year she reconnected with a guy she dated in her early 20's and I remember her telling me with such excitement about him on our way to a Lady Gaga concert.  I knew then he was special to her and indeed what was a chance encounter is now turning into a wonderful love story.  This good news inspired me to listen to the smooth sounds of Jose James' Blackmagic album and Sade's Lovers Rock.  I can't believe I have not listened to a sad song this week.  Another thing I can't believe, my appetite is somewhat back.  I actually ate 3 meals today.  This might spell trouble now that I have to attend all these weddings.  Nothing a hike or a bootcamp class can't cure I suppose.  Just like Jonatan Mårtensson says:  "Success will never be a big step in the future, success is a small step taken just now".  I measure my success in healing in small steps:  today I ate 3 meals, did not cancel a visit to the dentist and caught up with friends and felt ok about attending a wedding by myself.  Tomorrow, I put my construction hat on and keep building a bright future..!!
