So let it be written, so let it be known:
Indulge me, folks.
Tonight, I went down to "Taste of the Danforth", which is a festival in Toronto, celebrating Greek Cuisine and culture.
I was down there with my sister and stepfather, had some food and wine and OPA! I laughed alot.
Needed this. My mothers' side of the family is greek, but...for whatever reason, only feel the need to dip into the greekness for Easter and some weddings, a name day here and there, and funerals.
It is part of why I needed to move back to Toronto. I needed to re-connect with that part of my heritage.
The air was warm and sultry, throngs of people undulated through the streets. We sat on a patio drinking wine, eating hummus, listening to greek music. A friend from a former workplace greeted me warmly, the service at the restaurant was superb, the wine flowed freely. I'm feeling pretty loosey goosey right now.
Came home. And here I am now. This is a drunkish entry. Yes. Drunkish blogging. I like drunkish blogging.
So let it be written, so let it be known:
It has been years-YEARS!-since I felt this way. I was in my element. Back in the city of my origin, down in the midst of my people. Food and music and red wine. And in all of it, I thought of my Love, so many miles away. I will see him in a few days-GODS!-it's been two months, nearly, since I have been with him...there is nobody else who's presence I prefer. We talk for hours. His moods, his opinions, his ideas, his silence, his passion, his everyday mundane-ness...all of it. I wished he was with us, this evening. I wasn't sad. I wasn't angry. I didn't doubt. I just felt...in my element, and I felt okay, and I missed him, and wanted him there, wanted to share it with him.
It's been years since I felt this way: Unapologetically, passionately, completely, surely, entirely, joyfully, deeply, luminously, faithfully In Love.
All obstacles and controversy aside: I, Renee, Am In Love.
So let it be written. So let it be known.
It's absolutely frackin' brilliant to be sure about THIS. S'wonderful! S'Marvelous!
And now I get to go talk to him!
Life Is Glorious!
