Little did I know that March 20th would forever remain a day to remember. Not merely because it’s Macaron Day, though this would certainly be reason enough to celebrate. Today marks 3 years since the dinner that started it all, after the meeting just days prior. To celebrate, I spent a memorable Paris weekend with dear friends of almost 20 years, each living their own unique love story, one in Istanbul and one in London. (Last year’s girls’ weekend was in London… next year Istanbul?) As we dined our way through Paris, we reminisced about the journeys that created our multi-cultural lives, and how much of these lives we have experienced with one another. For all of this, as our chapters continue to be written and shared, and winter turns to spring… I am grateful.
Now time to indulge in a few free macarons… I am in Paris after all!
Well this is a special day for you…I’m just happy to have another reason to eat macarons. 😉
Happy anniversary … and please indulge in a free macaroni pour moi!
What a lovely way to celebrate, with friends that have been apart of your life for that long. And I love the fact that they also have their own versions of love stories that have taken them to far off corners of the world!
When’s donut week?
Now there’s an idea! What would the Frenchies think of donuts…
Enjoy some for meeeeee!
1-2-3-4-5 – I echo every one of the previous comments!
Lovely.
I think it’s so important to mark time as it’s happening as you’ve done so that you can look around and see what a moment looks like and feels like at the time. It ages the memory, ripens it, so it’s not just a pleasant memory but takes on a distinct flavor years later that it might not otherwise have had. If you can learn to stop and appreciate life as it’s happening rather than simply remembering it later, I think it makes the good things more pleasurable and the bad a bit easier to deal with.
Very nice post. Sounds like you and your friends had a great time.
like phil said, it’s good to mark the passage of time and to savor the memories…
What a beautiful story your love story is! And what a sweet way to top things off – with the macaron.
Thanks Amy! Perfect day for macarons.
