Fine Old Diner

Mulling over memories of a small town diner where I sat with friends and enjoyed a hot plate of biscuits and homemade gravy with a strong cup of coffee. The feeling was laid back and easy and being there laughing with friends made it that much better. I was younger then and there was a lot of chaos in my life. I was living with my best friend Jay at the time and she woke me up along with her sister and boyfriend who were also living there at the time.

Even though it was an ungodly hour for my feral-girl schedule the fact that it was such an unusual time for me jolted me into a different, calmer state of mind. Sitting in that diner with the laid back waitress that called us names like "honey" and "sweetheart" and surrounded by good company I could feel a momentary peace settle into my anxious heart. The memory for me points to the fact that peace can be found in the most chaotic and unsure periods of our lives and that peace will always lead us home. It might lead you to a damn good plate of biscuits and gravy too.
