gratitude

i woke up this morning wrapped in a big ole blanket of love...I had, 2 phone messages, 5 texts, and when logging in to email 18 or so Happy Days from friends.  From someone who often wonders if connections are real, if love expressed is truly love felt, if encounters and moments together equate to a deep heart felt affection, if others feel like i do it's nice to feel the love that has been expressed.  

I am grateful....for growing to be 40 with no major life events or illnesses, that my family is all alive and well, that I have a wonderful job, that I have friends that are as close as family and who love me in spite of all of my stuff, for health, for love from a special man, and on and on and on....SO many things to be thankful for.  

I feel it so strongly this morning!

We hiked in silence. We drove to the hike in silence. There was a moment when I thought reaching out to you would bring us closer together.  And then there was her. There was the her from the iPhone that got in the way.  The her that made me think, what the fuck are you even about.  You actually follow Kylie Jenner on Twitter... holy shit where did you come from?   That repelled me... the final thing that made me judge that pushed me away from you.  The thing that tossed me into another place and made the silence begin. I simply couldn't figure out how to get out of the silence.  I couldn't figure out how to crawl out of the hole.  I would make a comment.  You would make a comment.  But nothing.  It's as if the final strand was broken.  It was as if the final tenuous delicate little tie that held us together broke.  We shouldn't have gone hiking. I know you hated it.  You wanted me to believe that you liked the outdo...

you came in and you ran out and i wanted to say hello and you were gone and then you were back and you were smiling and we were talking (breath) and we were talking about important things and we were talking about things that made me cry (breath) and we were looking for colin and we were walking around the room and we were talking about life and you were speaking to a part of me that hadn't been spoken to in years (breath) and we were talking and finally in the thump, thump, thump of the room you asked if i wanted to get out of there and we were leaving and we were walking out the door together and we were standing in the parking lot and we were talking and you put your head on my shoulder and i grasped the back of your neck and my heart melted and my knees got weak (breath) and we were talking and we were talking about important things and we decided to go back to my place and we talked and laughed and talked and laughed and looked into each others eyes and were respectful of the ...

again and again and again...

the cycle is so present... always present... whether in my written notes or my online blog there is me getting excited about something, getting lost in the pursuit and then musing about it and stating that I've learned something only to repeat it... why? I'm hear again, well, sorta... my friend Mike said to me today, if you would only make a decision to settle on something. You have amazing energy and talent but you just need to settle on something. I am simply not sure what that is... still... not sure of so many things. I'm enjoying life though... have a great job... have nice friends... maybe i just have inflated expectations about what life is suppossed to be? maybe I just want too much? not sure... just saying. life is good.
