Landmark Day
My horoscope this morning reads:
Taurus (4/20-5/20)
This day will be partly cloudy, but you should try to think of it as partly sunny to help yourself keep a more optimistic attitude. If the clouds get you down, communicating your feelings to others will go a long way toward coaxing the sun back out. Making verbal connections is almost as helpful as making emotional connections today. So even small talk (about the weather — what else?) will remind you that life’s downs are matched by its ups.
Again, if Yahoo does nothing else, these horoscopes are really uncanny, don’t you think?
I had a conversation with a very dear friend the other day who I haven’t seen in a while because she’s been traveling extensively. She came home and had to deal with the ending of a long relationship that had ended a while back but hadn’t really found closure from her significant other. But now it had. She felt incredibly sad, but relieved. I said to her it’s funny to be a certain age and realize that you can love someone so deeply and yet not be with them, but it happens. And you move on, and you grow, and you make another life but there is always a twinge of sadness that remains.
Somebody said to me today this is a landmark day and it is, I’m leaving the company I have been working at for more than a decade and about to venture off into my Plan B and while I’m electrically excited again and feel all juiced up and ready to go, I’m also sad because I shared so many wonderful moments with so many wonderful people and now I’m moving on.
This morning Tin woke up feeling peaked and threw up his breakfast and then clung to me like a leech moaning and feeling miserable. I think I have written before of these sort of awful moments when he is sick and needs to wrap himself around my body till there’s no space between us.
The awful and the good. Isn’t that what life is all about?
Kinda, sorta.
