Twin souls

I woke up to a text from otterdancing: "We totally crack me up. I colored my hair deep dark chocolate burgundy red this weekend."

I am laughing softly.

Friends

I woke up thinking about my friends. One of them lives in the city, and she has been a recent, happy addition to my life. When I was young, I read her books and marveled at how cool and wonderful she was, never imagining that I would meet her in person. As an adult, I met her through mage_imbroglio, and we unexpectedly stumbled on a mutual love of fantasy/science fiction.

Visiting her is a wonderful experience. Even though she's a generation ahead of me, we have a most playful vibe when we're together. Within moments of seeing her, I feel sixteen again, and we are suddenly both giggling and talking about all kinds of foolish and wonderful things.

The last time I saw her I hadn't even reached her door before I realized that it was cracked open just a bit. She peered out at me from behind it, eyes sparkling, excitedly declaring, "You won't recognize me!" And I didn't---she had changed her hair quite radically, and her delight in it was infectious.

Every time I'm there, I'm more enchanted by her company. She is both generous and kind, and has extended much goodness in my direction. I can't wait to see her again. I hope it's soon.

Wise words for me

Just do your best to keep yourself in balance. One of the first things that causes Energy misalignment, is asking or demanding too much of yourself in terms of time and effort. In other words, you just cannot burn the candle at both ends, so that you are physically tired, and then expect yourself to have a cheerful attitude. So, the rule of thumb has to be: "I'm going to be very, very, very happy, and then do everything I have time to do after that."
