Notes From Along the Journey
Another rambling journal entry! I know your day has been made.
Today was both a very long day and a very short day. Time flew, but was stressful. I got rear-ended this morning on my way to work. No damage done, to me or the car, but damn I got freaked for a minute or two...
Talked to James for a little bit earlier, yes, the Prodigal Wizard himself (that's prodigal in the Biblical sense, not in the Changeling sense... ya know, I think 'prodigal' actually means wasteful. Its also come to mean 'wandering' or 'lost as well, apparently.) I miss the little bugger terribly. He's now, after a journal entry earlier this week, delighting in calling me a 'dude magnet'. This is, of course, revenge for all the times I called him a 'chick magnet', particularly in revenge for me telling Julia about it. It's his own damn fault. He couldn't really expect me to talk to her and not reveal at least a few secrets... You should be grateful, James. At least I didn't tell her about the grape jelly. Heh.
'Dude magnet'. I find that utterly hysterical. As I said to James earlier, YEAH RIGHT. I also told him I'd believe it when someone kissed me.
He said something yesterday that has stayed with me: "Things come into your life when you need them." Or words to that effect. I keep finding that's true. Particularly of people. It's almost eerie at times.
Lately I am so content with where my life is going. It's sort of like going through a canal. I'm very gradually slipping from one lock to the next, one level to the next. I misspoke, actually. I don't know where my life is going. For now, I think I'm simply content with the movement alone. It feels good to be going somewhere, wherever that ends up being.
Besides, everyone knows that with any trip, getting there is half the fun.
