so lucky


I feel so lucky.

It is spring, and the winter and its challenges feels so far behind. I am wearing a summer dress with ruffles and green flowers. My hair is cut short and curly, and I have an orange for my lunch. I can't sit still while at work because so much is happening and I feel every moment I am arriving at becoming more of a genuine expression of my true self.

Ned and I are doing wonderfully, and last night at Passover I remembered last year when I came to passover and how I felt tortured with longing for a man I thought I could never have. This year I feel so lucky to be sleeping beside this man, and having my vivacious friend Amy flown in from Chicago to celebrate Passover with a unigue group of 'Burquequenos.

It causes some distress on my part to think that my girlfriends and I are so far away from each other on the globe... Espana, England, Costa Rica, and that soon I will be in India, and then Inner Mongolia teaching Mongolians how to say, "Hello, how are you?" in English. Val says that we have our own destinies and that we are getting older, and that may just be the way it is. I suppose so. I'm glad I'm taking my someone who I love with me. I will not be alone.
