Such Things..
So another month has passed me by. Its definitely been extreme...and wonderful. I have been doing lots of thinking, that is, when my brain allows me control over what it does. Theres a part of me that thinks that all of what I am experiencing is all too good to be true, and then theres that part that just wants to revel in it. So half the time, I revel, and the other half I feel numb. I guess I really am waking up to reality. Things become much easier to deal with when you have someone that really encourages you. Someone who is driving toward the same point and wants to enjoy the ride to its fullest along the way.
Work has had me in a collage of knots lately. Im back working under the psycho-whore, who incidently, is going to be performing my review. I dont say that I work FOR her, because, well, Ive stopped doing what shes manipulated me into doing. I finally said, "Look, Im tired of not doing what I want to do for my development" (AKA: I'm pissed off and I'm not gonna take it anymore.) I think she finally got the picture. Now, if I can just keep from getting fired, and actually MOVE on like I've tried so hard to do for almost a year. If my job karma is trying to tell me something, would someone be so kind as to tell it that I truly get the picture.
Arlene is leaving for college next week. I cant believe it. We are all so proud of her. I wish her and Vernon all the best.
Next weekend I'm going to see my mom. We havent seen each other since Memorial Day. Boy, what a weekend that was. Have I learned from that? Why, yes, yes I have. Course, my mom is very interested in meeting the person who has totally captured my heart and changed my outlook on life. She even told me she was hoping I would meet someone like him.
Weird though...Karly...when have you EVER known my mom NOT to give the 3rd degree to any choice I have made? I really felt like I wasnt talking to my mom at all. I think shes getting "nice" in her old age. Its gotta be that..cuz I dont think its possible to reverse-menopause.
This past weekend had to be the shortest but longest weekend ever. It was incredibly surreal. I'm starting to really like this.
Three specific quotes by Emerson come to my mind more frequently than they used to:
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
"That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the task itself has become easier, but that our ability to perform it has improved."
"He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses."
