Joined at the heart
I was on my way in to work today, pulling off the 417 after moderate traffic, and feeling mighty hungry. I thought, hmmm, McD's for breakfast.
Hmmm, call E and then we both have McD's for breakfast.
It sounded like a good idea to me.
As I drove south, nearing the McD's there was a little voice in the back of my mind saying "do it do it do it do it", so in I turned. I turned the car off, and texted E: "I'm at McD's what do you want?" Then went in to wait her reply (though I suspected it'd be a sausage mcmuffin with OJ - I didn't just buy it because I knew by the time I got it there she'd already have something else)
Waiting inside, I thought, crap she didn't feel the ring.
At the same time, as E related, she was on the bus thinking "Starbucks or McD's? Wish M would go there and let me know..." Then realizing the phone really did buzz, she checked. Her reply? "Sausage McMuffin with small OJ" and "You read my mind"
It worked out perfectly.
I told her we were joined at the mind.
No, she replied, joined at the heart.
Animal Friends
A woke up this morning in an amazing mood, all smiles and happy. I went to see him, wished him a good morning, and he said "Good morning daddy" Then he went on to tell me of the fun he was having before he woke up.
He was with his animal friends (two stuffed pandas and a stuffed rabbit), he said, they were playing and driving in a truck in his bed. Then they ate some "fruit and bamboo and salad" and then they "all took a sailboat home"... It was such a beautiful image, and such a sweet way of saying it.
Have happy dreams my little man.
Images of you
I like to look at that photo I took of you. It was just over two years ago now (the date stamp says September 10, 2004). I love that picture of you, because it is just so very
you. You're in one of your favorite places in the world (a bookstore), you're wearing that shirt that is just so much the attitude you have, and that I adore. You're smiling, but it's that uneasy smile that says how little you like having your picture taken. Thank you for indulging me and letting me take a reminder of you away with me.
I love that photo because it's so quintessentially you. And I like to look at it, because it lets me see you when I can't. I see it, and I think of you, and your sweetness and kindness to me, and all those things you do for me, and all the fun we have together. I think of the coffee shop in that bookstore, and sharing drinks, and talk, and laughter. How we enable each other to buy things that we want, and share the results of what we get. My best times are with you.
I look at the photo and I see you before me, not a flat, two dimensional, rasterized image; but the real you, the living, breathing, fun, vibrant, beautiful woman you are. The one I love and love to be with.
I look at that photo and it's like a mental hug that warms my heart.
Today's Celtic Cross
General forcast time...seems appropriate given that it's a transition and that I feel as if I've turned a corner and all....

That which is to be embraced: King of Wands
Querant's Feelings: Eight of Wands
Outside Influences: Five of Pentacles, Reversed
Hopes and Fears: Two of Pentacles, Reversed
Ultimate Outcome: Seven of Cups, Reversed
So, not to figure out what it means!
Some random thoughts from the one track mind
I love you. Truly, deeply, sincerely, eternally. I just wanted to tell you again.
I feel like I've turned some sort of corner this last week. I can't even say for sure why, but I really do. It's like some karmic corner came, one of those "you will be at this place at this time" sort of things. Or maybe more accurately, one of those "if this happens then you have reached another goal-marker on the path" sort of things. I'm not sure where this street is going to lead, but for some reason it makes me happy to be here, so I guess that's a good thing.
The pace feels like it's quickening. It has that "time speeded up" feeling to it again. Only this time, I like it. I'm glad it feels like that. I guess I'm embracing change?
There is not enough time, and there are far too many books! But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying!
This was all written on a jelly keyboard.
