Happy thoughts
I finished reading Stephen King's A Wind Through the Keyhole today. Only took me 24 hours to read. It's a stand alone-ish piece from the Dark Tower. In it, Roland tells a story within a story. As ever, it reminded me of WHY I loved the series, the rich and plentiful mythos is a place I like to visit. My favorite things to read about in fiction are fallen civilizations, dying magic and ruins of technology, and dystopian futures. The Dark Tower has always satisfied that craving.
Anyway, several months ago I bought this book (one of the shortest Kind novels I've read!), and meant to devour it straight away. But I put it on a shelf, and forgot about it until I started packing for the move. I'm so glad I found it now, it was a welcome post-move read. And it was a good story, one of which I may modify as a bedtime story for my own children, should I have them.
I was thinking today, how nice it is to come home to someone. I'm insufferably annoying on the subject of the boy, and I know it. And I hope someday all my friends who want to find this sort of happiness do! Because after living here so long, I finally feel like I actually have a home. I've been aping at making a home for myself here in Japan for years, but it actually feels like a home now. Or at least the start of one. Once I get all these boxes unpacked and sorted through, it will be much more homelike, I am sure.
Also? I feel my creativity returning. I've started a short story, something which I haven't been able to manage in a very long time.
I finally feel like I'm making the right choices.
