Home Again
Jan. 9th, 2005 10:28 amDang it's nice being home again. Have found myself off on outta the house adventures for much of the recent past. Not that I'm complaining 'bout the travels...but it is great spending time w/the kitties (Fargo's staying w/in 3' of me and even Havana seeks me out frequently) and I just must address the various pieces of paper batting their seductive little eyes at me, beckoning me w/come hither (or the utlitlies will be turned off) looks.
Am finding that parts of my life progress at rates far too rapid for the eye (or mind) to follow. My heart's spinning far too fast for my head to keep up. Am pleased that all the lectures I've given friends on the importance of communication actually contain info that'll work if'n followed. SO much easier to talk than to do, to advise than to act, to say/think of what should be done as opposed to doing it. But so much more rewarding to follow my own advice, not let things blow up all outta proportion, take deep breathes, count to 10, talk 'bout things as they arise rather than tucking them away (like landmines) and creating some sorta lousy future straw that broke the camel's back scenario. Sure, I'm scared as heck...but it's been windy (so caution's been thrown out into the weather at times...emotional caution that is). Soul baring's hard. Pain potential's at a premium. Yet I'm convinced that if'n you don't dive in and take chances you'll never live as rich a life. Sure, it's gonna hurt like a b!tch when a stick gets in the spokes, but until then the feeling of flying fast w/your hair streaming out behind, smiling like mad, look-ma-no-hands feels just wonderful. And I've got a good solid core foundation to fall back on if'n (not when!) the bricks come tumbling down.
