I can't tell you how amazing it feels to just have everything fall into place for you. It's a sentiment that I wish everyone could experience, even if only for a moment. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have everything you want, or that all your problems are solved, or even that the people you love are near you.

It is just this feeling of peace, that even though things aren't perfect, that they will be, because life continues to move, and my heart and mind are in the right place, and that what is important will soon sort itself out.

Thinking back at the tornadoes and turmoil that surrounded me about six months ago, I am so relieved to be where I am now. And the best part is that I did it through my own volition (though not without the support of all of my friends!).

I had a lovely 4th of July. It was very lowkey - I spent the morning and early afternoon working on a website for a client (love how official that sounds) with a break for a delicious homemade lunch, then headed out to a barbeque at... well... an old semi-flame's apartment. Becca joined me and got a glimpse of the weird former life I led before Digitas, and then a boy she's been seeing met up with us for drinks and sushi on Smith Street.

Now I am home winding down and getting ready for work tomorrow. I mean - I know it's unavoidable to have the 4th of July fall on a Wednesday (every... six years?) but what a waste of time. There might be hardly any actual work to be done the rest of the week. Becca and I realized that on Friday she and I may be the only ones on our team who are actually in the office!

BUT today I was surprised by a phone call from my darling Tatiana to ask me if this weekend might be convenient for her to come visit me!! Of course I said YES! And now my mind is all aflurry making plans of fun things for us to do!

Yay!
