mlerulesWhat's LIFE telling me? What do I want to hear? Opening your heart's a good way to get hurt. Also necessary to healing, perhaps. Certainly necessary for some serious good love sh!t to come your way. The possibilities of mega-joy and blissful contentment outweigh concerns 'bout vulnerability and hurt and paint. Not that anything's that easy, 'specially r-ship-wise. Communication remains vital. Ditto working on things, talking things through, figuring out what matters, focussing on important issues, letting go, grabbing hold, hanging on ferociously. When is it time to let go?

Mi casa's become a staging area for a friend's imminent (less than 27 hours away) departure for 6-8 months in India. This combined w/my last couple of trips and upcoming w'end away means that it's a pretty good disaster-zone here. And I've got a houseguest winging her way from London to LAX Tu evening for whom I'd like to acheive at least a modicum of sanity/orderliness for...not that she'd really mind that much, methinks, based on what I know/have experienced. Still. Plus, it's nearly year-end. Lots of taking stock time.
Several years back a friend remarked, partially jokingly but partially truthfully, that I should be a professional house-guest. There's a certain appeal to cutting way back, figuring out the bare bones, tossing the rest (necessaries - including some luxuries - for when I settle down/buy a place) into storage, and taking off...travelling, seeing more of the world, figuring out perhaps where I want to be, how I want to live. My current freedom restrictors = my stuff & my kittenheads. Just hit 11 years in residence in this place on 12/1/06. Love it here...but it's not forever. Hell, forever's not forever. All I've got is my lifetime. So many books, so little time. Substitute X for books and what have you? XXX marks the spot? Oh, so many places to go...
