7. Quite a lonesome feeling from the photos.

Nice your friends stopped by and you jumped at the chance to go with them!

I have a friend (a writer) whose husband died last December and in March she, and the family,
scattered his ashes on the farm he loved so much. He was also a musician, and
they decided each of them would say/sing the words from a song as they did
the scatterings. She chose a song about regret and said this about her choice: "If you've been through grief and mourning, you know that regret is intimately tied up with grief. I have regretted so many opportunities and openings I didn't take; all the times I said "no," to an invitation when I could have said, "yes."

Your story of spontaneously jumping at the chance to go to NOLA with 40 minutes to prepare, made me think of my friend.
