When The Going Gets Tough…

Most of the time, it’s easy for me to know that I lead a wonderful life and am incredibly blessed. But sometimes, just like everyone else, I get in a funk when life takes a tailspin. The combination of a lot of little things and a few big things have literally felt like a downward spiral that makes me want to run into a dark cave and hide until the invevitable upswing HAS to happen.

Oh hey, cave. It's me, Meghan.

But, since the world keeps on spinning and I don’t have any mysterious caves just around the corner, I’ve had to face this like everyone else. Luckily, I have the most wonderful friends who put up with the various emotions that are associated with a bad day, week, month… When I’ve been angry and frustrated or when I’ve been a complete mess and shed some tears, they have been there with positive thoughts, prayers, advice and support.

And well, let’s hope that I never go so far off the deep end that the deep end is a canyon. But, the best part about my friends is that I know if I had to, they’d all be ready to ride shotgun…in a nutshell.

As young girls, I think most of us grew up idolizing the bike-riding, slumber party-hosting teenage girl clans of Now & Then and The Babysitters Club, who symbolized the independence we aspired to obtain or the adventures we someday knew we’d take.

I remember fawning over that innocent self-autonomy, but also taking it to the next level as a little gal (nut) who was so excited for freedom and womanhood in the big city. I vividly remember imagining the year when I could put on dinner parties with extravagant meal options, fruity drinks, magical music and a beautiful skyline as the backdrop to my fashionable meandering guests. That was all fine and well, and very ambitious for a little thing, but highly unlikely and in no way feasible at that time.
