Waking up

"It is simply this: do not tire, never lose interest, never grow indifferent - lose your invaluable curiousity and you let yourself die. It's as simple as that."

Tove Jansson, Fair Play

Somewhere inside of me, I feel as though I'm waking up. Some of the dark shadows that feel like they've been dogging my steps have stepped back and I feel like I'm looking at the world again from my actual point of view, not one blurred by tiredness or sadness or feeling blue. It's pretty groovy.

There seems to be more colour in the world, more laughter, more hope, more danger, more joy.

More more.

I am feeling inquisitive and busy and interested and brave.

I am feeling silly and bouncy and excited.

I am feeling challenged and heard.

I am feeling loved.

This is a good thing.

How are you feeling today, lovelies?

A long weekend of epic proportions

Mlle Wilson here for five days AND a Join Meet? Non stop fun!

What have I been up to?

I have made lots and lots and lots of silly jokes and double entendres.

I have visited my old uni campus.

I have travelled for literally hundreds of miles around the North East of Scotland.

I have stood on the banks of Loch Ness.

I have been amazed, in a lovely way, by people's perceptions of me.

I have realised that in certain situations I have to follow the flow rather than control it. And I am A-OK with that.

I have slept very little.

I have realised that I have to let some things go.

I have (almost) been licked by a Meatloaf tribute act.

I have found the spot where (if I ever get married), I want to get married.

I have danced crazily to ska and reggae and punk and rock, and been twirled around (don't you just love twirling?).

I have been licked. Ewwww.

I have been reminded just how amazing my friends are.

I have had a million and one great conversations with people I love and respect and who I really appreciate having in my life.

I have been hugged. A lot. I freaking love hugging.

I have had fun.

I have done a very silly happy dance because of a sentence.

I have introduced Mlle Wilson to Flight of the Conchords.

I have made the people of Inverness smile.

I have sung songs about badgers.

I have burnt things in a cleansing ritual. With Mlle Wilson. On top of a freaking big hill.

I have drunk Jack Daniels.

I have looked at a sky that is festooned with a million brilliant stars.

I have been really happy.

:-)

Love,
Cxx
