Today, I took myself out for some fine dining.

I ran into a group of friends celebrating a birthday, and they begged me to be their photographer. I took some amazing pictures.

One of the beauties in life is seeing friends celebrating and telling inside jokes.

I joined them for the rest of the celebration – cakes and all.

It was amazing to bond with new people without needless introductions beyond my name.

I am thankful for strangers who offer a good time.
