Today I had a preview of a fabulous life, minus money and the desired marital status. It was a good day with pretty sprinkles of snow falling throughout the afternoon. Dinner was a jambalaya of goodness with a dear old friend. A and I sipped our mocchiato and latte while discussing real topics of interest and playing jokes on each other. We were dolled up and walked downtown in this winter wonderland and everything was pleasant.
Beauty, Bravery, Blindness, B's that I'm carrying with me more often. Eyes to see the beauty all around me. A Heart that pushes me to be braver than tucked away. A brain that yields to it's written rules to sometimes turn a head and try new things. I will need a larger pack to keep them in if things keep going the way they're going.
I reflected on how things are turning out. Aa has figured out how to voice his voice to be heard by his partner. It makes me proud that maybe I'm not such a bad matchmaker after all, only when it comes to myself do I fail miserably miserably. I thought back to how much A has grown into such a fine young lady. Still naive but in an appreciable way. Much better of a friend than she has ever been, and she just keeps getting better. D, oh wise one who teaches me so much, who's really turning into quite the softy and maybe I'm the one who's breaking away at the platinum shell he hides in. Big D danced tonight like no one was watching. Kiche kiche phrase I know, but he pulled out the moves as the 3 of us played an entertaining sport of Scrabble.
I have a great job, I have great friends, I have great mentors, a great family, great goals, great desires, great interests, a pretty great life overall. Not to brag, not to boast, not to pull out all the B's like street signs pull to numbers in NYC, but maybe it was me the whole time who was a bit behind, and now just now am I starting to catch up a bit and take part in this life. What's been taking me so long? Where have I been?
