 Hello! Internet! All my non-viewers! (Well, maybe I should really say "myself.")

We've had a lovely weekend. I was SO TIRED but then we had people come over and I guess I really am an extrovert because I suddenly felt really great. Still tired but happy and not like I was falling apart. I went and got pizza, we talked, the kids were great, the guests were fun, and we had a party! 

And ALSO we had one couple stay in our guest room with their little toddler, and one was best friends with my husband since high school, and his wife was so interesting to talk to! I loved our long conversation last night. She had a similarly conservative religious upbringing and later disillusionment. But she's really into astrology and chakras and sound healing and it was so fascinating to listen to! She was talking about believing in reincarnation, in the sense that on earth we have guides and nudges to what we hoped for in life, and at the end we'll review and have other guides to decide if we want another go or what. It's hard to explain but I hadn't considered it and I enjoyed the thought of a grand review and reunion after death. I still don't think I personally believe in an afterlife, that is to say, I wouldn't be disappointed if there isn't, and I don't really think there's any way to know. It's a very pleasant, reassuring thought though. I think one of the things I'd been looking forward to the most had been being able to review all my favorite parts of my life (especially since my memory is kind of bad). All the super adorable things my kids did, all my happiest moments, times when I felt fascinated or in awe. Perhaps take a little tour of the earth seeing all the beauty the earth has to offer. I don't know. 

Our guests finally left this afternoon and it's sad and a little bit of a relief but we really did love having them here. Delightful people, delightful friends, delightful memories. 

Now I don't know what to do though! Haha. We've been so busy for so long that all this free time feels weird. (Actually I've been putting off laundry, so I should do it heh)
