A journey rich with music

Today I DANCED.

I put on this song, cranked it up, and I just let loose. Completely. Hair flying, hips shaking, who-gives-a-fuck-who's-watching, absolute lunacy.

I wasn't trying to exorcise pain or depression. I thought that's what I was feeling, but it's not either of those things.

I'm trying to rid myself of apathy. Emptiness. Holding pattern blahhh.

I feel like -- if I just keep doing this, keep singing and dancing about, taking in the music, and remember to hold onto what it does for me --

I might, just might, be able to get my joy back.

Then the sky opens up and everything feels possible.

:D

There's really nothing like music.

I'm so glad you danced today... but sorry I forgot your birthday in the rush of everything going on here. So a very, very Happy Late Birthday! (At least you know it's sincere.) :-)

The cottage is almost finished. Tomorrow the electrician is supposed to do the rest of the electrical (everything's been roughed in), and the contractors are going to take care of a final few details. But the inside is finished and painted and carpeted--yay! So there will be moving going on soon, and the shuffling of rooms, and general reorganizing/settling in.

Hi!!

I'm so glad to hear things are finally coming together. I've been thinking about you a lot, and wondering how things were faring in your corner of the world. I hope the shuffling is quick and easy. *pokes you* Nestle in to your new cottage castle, and then start writing again! *stirring your creative pot for you* It's on the backburner, but I think it's still bubbling.

:D

Thank you so much for the birthday tidings. I knew you were swamped with stuff, so I wasn't worried about it. My turning one year older is the least of your concerns right now. heeheee

*hugs you tightly*

Nearly all the electrical work is finally done and we've got our fingers crossed that the electrical inspector comes tomorrow. If so, we can go ahead and move in; otherwise, with the holiday, we may have to wait until Tuesday. :-( Noooooo!

Con's birthday is Saturday and since he's very interested in birds (just like his mom), we're going to the Cascades Raptor Center, which has over 60 birds of prey.

I can see, with all the activity around here, where being out in the cottage will be a good (and probably necessary) thing in order to have some quiet time for writing. But we're all having a good time together here. :-)
