Full Circle

Isn't it funny how everything that ever once was or ever will be comes around again? Think about it, we've all been lots of places and known so many people. Eventually, (hopefully) we learn from each and every single one of those people and experiences. And it all comes back around. For instance, when I recently went home for the holidays, I noticed that even though my life has changed dramatically since I left there, things are still the same. I'm still my grandmother's precious, I'm still a neice, a grandaughter, a friend. I'm still Sarah from Reno, even though I now live in Vegas. By the way, the two are really worlds apart-same state, that's it. Different pace, different space, different breed, different needs. Vegas and Reno: really opposite. Reno's way more hometown like friendlier. Anyhow, the other night, as I kissed my boyfriend, my favorite new song came on the radio. My favorite new song on country radio right now is of course by my favorite guy singer, Billy Dean. I've listened to Billy since I was six years old and have loved, adored and followed his career ever since. I spent years crushing on him (okay, I still do :) and was privilaged enough to meet him a few times. Lucky me, he's even better lookin' in person-if that's possible! LOL! Anyhow, my point is, I grew up listening to Billy and watching his videos, he was a definate, infinite part of my childhood, adolesence and now, my life as an adult. His music has touched me, he looks have melted me and his sweet gentleman like demenor when I meant him has stayed with me. So, here I am, some 15 years later, kissing my amazing boyfriend (Hugh), when all of the sudden I hear Billy's voice on the radio. It was really cool, but it dawned on me that I have now come full circle. Someone that I adored growing up is still around (in a round about way), and now I'm doing a very adult thing (making out) with my boyfriend while listening to Billy's song. How cool is that? Also, I watch a little boy, Dylan, a few times a week while his mom's at work, I like to call myself a Nanny. But, I'm not an offical one. Anyhow, I'm 21 now, and here I am taking care of another little innocent person. Okay, I'm still innocent to some extent. Every single one of us was once a child, an innocent, sometimes helpless, dependent child. Then, we grow up, become parents (or nannies) and now we're the ones taking care of the children. Taking care of some other innocent, dependent person. It's a great feeling and it's extremely full circle. Anyway, I have more to say about all of this, but mom and I need to run errands if she's quit cleaning the house (yeah, right, my mother quit cleaning, NEVER! Ok, shhh, don't tell her, I secretly LOVE the always clean house I live in-btw I do pitch in!). I'll write again soon, my goal is three times a week here. I'd like to do it everyday, but that's just not realistic. So, I'll talk to you soon!

Many Blessings,
