Thursday ramblings

Its odd how such small seemingly unimportant details can carry so much meaning.

I have this little pouch. It was free at a sample sale I attended with E. We have both used this odd little envelope far more than we ever expected. It's the perfect size to toss your id and some cash into for the gym or a flea market or traveling. In fact, when I broke the plastic holder I was given for my key cards at trial, I grabbed the little pouch. It was just the right size to hold my key cards and id. That silly pouch soon turned into my trial wallet and I couldn't leave a room without that or my cel phone. I had both on me at all times.

Trial was an amazing experience. I learned so much; I felt like I was on information overload 18 hours a day. Compound that with sleep-deprivation, tempers, teamwork, inside jokes and so much more that I can't even begin to describe...it was an adventure. Well, trial's over...new friends made, new love found - sitting here, unpacking that silly little pouch, it hits me like a brick wall. Trial's over. New friends have returned home, love is soon to follow.

I was fine until I make the genius decision to unpack that silly little pouch. At work. Yeah, I know I'm an idiot.

But mixed with the inevitable sadness of goodbye is the overwhelming gratitude for this incredible experience.
