I know that I should totally be working on my story and frankly I don't want to right now. I need to get into the right mind set and get all the excess jabber floating around in my head out. First off, I can't believe how much I have been writing lately. It's crazy, just none of it is for scripts or stories right now. Or rather not a lot or enough of it is. I've just been so blocked with even putting words on a page that I haven't been to concentrate on stuff. For the first time in forever, I just feel so completely at peace about things and so excited about how well things have been happening in my life. Knock on wood. :) I just feel so good!!!
I'm also feeling completely hyper. I just got off the phone with my oldest and dearest friend, Jenn. It's been forever since we talked and yet it's like it was no time at all. I've known her for over 20 years, wow, I can't believe that. We were discussing her 17 year old son and all of a sudden, I felt really REALLY old. I remember when he was born. Man time flies. Anyway, it was just so good to talk to her. Every time I talk to her, which isn't nearly often enough, we pick right up where we left off. We're both busy with kids, life and the million other things that we have to do but it's a shame that we let so much time pass between visits. What I love now, is that I talk to her daughter a lot, I'm rather her like her adopted aunt and I love it. She's becoming a teenager and I can't believe that. I like being able to talk to her about growing up and I can be a friend. That relationship really means the world to me.
Through Facebook, I've been able to get into contact with a lot of friends from high school and it's been exciting to see how people have grown up. With all the different lives and paths that people have chosen, it's amazing to see where people have ended up. While it's impossible to relive those years (in some cases I'm sure that's a really good thing), its cool to be able to have those connections with people.
I'm all about connections. While lately, I've been so busy with school and kids, it's been nice to make some new friends and that has been awesome. It's taken a while because starting over is really hard to do. I can honestly say that I've met some wonderful people that I'm so grateful for and having them in my life. I know I'm getting all mushy. I just can't help it. It's just important to make and maintain those connections, they are what bring joy and happiness to life. While I love my kids with all my heart, there are things that I get from friendships that I can't get from my kids. It's just what life is all about.
Anyway, enough mushiness. Time to write my story for a little while before going to bed. I have a crazy weekend ahead of me. It's gonna be awesome. :)
