showing up

Today, which is now tomorrow since it's 1:04 a.m., I learned what it means to show up. I actually fought a little depression early in the morning but got out of bed motivated by the lowering tide of the surf today. I just felt alone. So I texted my friend to get out there with me, no answer. I packed up my car and to my surpise as I headed out, she called. She met me down there with a couple of beers and warm seats in her car. As I head into the abyss of what's in store this year, I have this to remind me that people will show up. And how important it is that I do, too.
