sitting here chuckling. i’ve been out of the house every afternoon and night since i got here.
today was ‘be nice to me’ day. hair cut, pedicure, and massage. then, to J’s in Tampa for their son’s birthday. met the family. welcome by all. grinned to hear how they all said they ‘knew me’ from M and J speaking of me. so nice to have an expanding circle of friends again… M and J’s mothers (both of them!!) invite me to ‘come visit anytime’ and the cool part is… they mean it.
i’m happily tired. the weather was amazing today and i love driving over the causeway and having the scent of ocean all around. tangy, salty air that soothes. beautiful coastline. i really need to get another camera. or return to watercolors. hmm. thoughts for sometime soon.
heh. i let the lady at the salon talk me into nails. ugh. i’m already sick of them. typing speed easily cut in half. chuckling. as if i need nails. for what? these will be soaked off tomorrow. i’d do it tonight, but i haven’t any remover handy.
odd thoughts today. i looked in the mirror for the first time in i don’t know when and was actually content with what i saw. not so much that i’m ‘different’… just that i can see myself as more than the shell i wear.
but.. i do see changes. my eyes shine. my mouth is softer. my jaw is relaxed. i look… happy. inner changes shining through, i think.
i can see a difference in my writing, too. which is interesting to watch develop. freeform and coloring outside the boundaries of my own experiences begins to return to being easier… and thoughts of those books rattling around the back of my head are looking more feasible.
creative levels of late are simply off the chart. it’s interesting. everything i touch is better for it in proximity. i ponder extending the range and seeing what happens.
not much else to tell. just a very good day on all levels.
