Happiness

Today was a great day, I must say. Went out for an impromptu beer after work with a co-worker and then meet up with another co-worker after that for some long overdue girl time.

It still surprises me that so many people... seem to enjoy my company , quite frankly. I also don't think anyone at work realizes how much into my own I have come since starting there. More than one person has mentioned it to me, but I still don't think they get how completely atyptical it is for me to open up with so many people at all, ever. It has taken me by surprise, to say the least. I keep waiting for the moment when people get tired of me, to tell me to stop humming and singing under my breath... I've never smiled so much, I don't think, and I can't imagine not wanting to smile.

How can I be a social person yet not be a social person? I am reserved yet not reserved... I love the contradictions that aren't really contradictions at all. I think I wrote a poem like that years ago... hmmm... I really should find that back.

In other issues, I hear rumors, I hope for some resolution... I try to be patient and not analyze.
Still, I miss...

So met up with WickedTribe and her boyfriend tonight. What a great time! It felt so great to have that girl time before the boys joined us. And then toward the end of the evening, I get my Christmas and birthday presents all at once - invited to go camping, kayaking, swimming, and fishing! Please picture me doing a really dorky in-my-seat head-turkey-jerking-around happy dance in my seat. Tomorrow there is promised fishing and swimming... and then in August/September, kayaking and white water, cliffs and campfires. I am so excited! I have been soooo deprived for years now, and it used to be such a regular summer event. Just the promise of getting to play in water, to be able to revert to my natural mermaid form.... I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve. Happiness is me in water. :)
