Some Thoughts On Change
August 4th, 2008
Wow, this is already my 194th post. It seems like just yesterday I was bragging about my 100th post. :) Life moves so quickly. I was thinking about this earlier at work today as I told another girl that a few years ago I would have never imagined I’d be say “Yeah, just fourteen more days till my wedding”, but I am now. After she left I thought about that ‘a few years ago’ comment. As I look back on all the things that have already happened in my life I find myself amazed how short a time it’s all been condensed into. I feel so… young almost. I mean, I know I’m only 19, not even 20 yet, but still… it’s just so hard to believe I’m still just a tot so to speak.
I’m strange but it’s a good strange. It gives me something to think about instead of trying to figure out how many times in one day I may have rewashed the same plate. The answer would no doubt cause me to lose some sleep.
I found a new awesome song to write to. “Heart of Steel” by Manowar. Yay.
This week or so has been a busy one but then again when isn’t it? Right? We’ve been doing lots of driving and spending a lot of money we don’t have but only on stuff we need so I don’t feel too bad. :) The best news in the world- my best friend ever has moved in with me!!! I’m really happy that for once I was able to be there for her, I hate it when I’m able to do something for someone but it’s too little too late and for once I was able to make sure she was alright. We’ve been writing non-stop and it’s ‘so’ awesome to have another writer in the house.
My Hunny is so sweet too, I don’t know what I’d do without him. He’s the one who’s been doing all the hours upon hours of driving first just so I could see my friend and then so we could go get her stuff. He’s really awesome. So patient and willing to do whatever he is able to help others and to make me happy. I love him and I love his heart so much.
I had another Spirit’ish thought today, well, actually I probably had it last night but sometimes my really deep thoughts need to span a couple of hours or a couple days before I can truly understand them. Anyways, see, the past few days my Hunny and my best friend have been coming to pick me up and I was thinking back to when I first started working at this place. I had been forced away from the only family I knew, I came home to a quiet house with no one to great me, and I often rode my bike there (two miles) in the dark of night with animals howling and sex offenders on our street.. It wasn’t very cool. Now when I go home sometimes I ride with my fiance’s Mom and we talk about -everything- from family, to politics, to the changes from her generation to mine. It’s nice. Other nights I now ride with my best friend and soon to be husband. I have something to look forward to, like I’m coming home to a family once more and in truth I am. It’s a bit hard to get used to but I don’t think I’m really going to have too much trouble. *wink*
I think I’m going to go write some more now. :)
Time really does fly, doesn’t it? I suppose that’s a good thing, though. Otherwise, we’d feel like we were stuck in the same place in the same life forever.
By the way, I found your blog on blogcatalog.com and since I see you’re into writing, I wanted to let you know about a new e-zine that me and a few writer friends are putting together.
It’s called The Oddville Press.
You should check us out if you’re interested–it’s free to subscribe, hey! Or better yet, submit something!
Thanks a bunch and enjoy your Manowar! :P
Spirit, I believe it’s finally Spring in your soul. Your life is about to house so much beauty and happiness… here’s a huge hug for you tonight!!
Love,
Jo
Steph: I like your blog and your ezine. Not bad. :)
Yes, time flies pretty fast when you’re having a good time but sometimes I wish it would slow down if only for a tiny bit so all this happiness could last longer. :)
Ah, blogcatalog is good stuff. I checked out your ezine and it seems pretty cool. I’m seriously thinking about submitting a story of mine. :) Wonderful how those little projects with writer buddies can turn into huge group movements sometimes. :)
Jo: Aww, that’s a beautiful way of putting it, you truly are a writer at the heart, dearie. *hugs back muchly* And thankies again for visiting Keiyou’s blog, she really apreciated it and so do I. :)
