New Experiences

I woke up very depressed this morning. That's the first time this has happened in almost a year and I am not used to it anymore. Part of it can be blamed on bad dreams, old dreams, difficult dreams, but part of it is in the now.

Sometimes I am too willing to share things that probably should not be shared. I am also feeling a little bit house bound and I am not working on any big writing project, so there is nothing to fall back on in this moment. In short, I guess all kinds of things contributed to my funky feelings. I am thinking that I need to get more involved, but then there is Lennon and I need to be available for him. That is one of the main reasons I am out here.

The day improved, though. I was able to go over some things in my book with someone who is reading it and get some pretty good advice and I got a phone call this evening that is kind of exciting. Wednesday evening I am having a man over for dinner. Not what you think at all. I am cooking, which I haven't done much of in a long time. I'm even making creme brulee! But this is no romantic tryst. He wants to come over and record me talking about my family and my life!

It is one of the things he does and if we don't do it on Wednesday it will be several months before he is back here again. He spends most of his life off in different parts of the war torn world doing all sorts of fascinating things and I will enjoy talking to him as much as he will allow. I want to hear his story! So I have something to really look forward to.

I love it when life sends me new experiences.
