It's been been unbelievably busy this week. The good thing is that it's been exhilarating and I am still here to tell about it.
To be honest, I usually prefer to be busy rather than bored out of my skull...
If you're wondering why this week is so busy, it's because some truly wonderful things have happened.
A very close friend has returned to visit after a seven-year absence and, while we have kept in touch over the years, it's nice to get together, see each other and talk about all of the things that we rarely talked about because of the high cost of overseas calling or lack of time. Isn't it interesting that, while good friends can be separated by oceans (or mountains or entire continents) when they get together again after a long time, things seem to be just as they were before. Kind of like while we live apart, we got closer together. You'd think it would be the opposite.
Because this friend has come back, I've been reconnecting people who still live here but that I don't see much. It's like old-home week only way better.
Just when it seemed like it couldn't have got any better, another good friend who lives on the opposite side of a mountain range showed up with absolutely no notice. It's funny because we were talking of this person just days ago. It felt like something out of the twilight zone!
I won't bore you with why this is totally good for me except to say that something in my more recent friendships was seriously lacking. Over the past week, I have been reminded of what it feels like to have relationships in which people just seem closer. It's something I seemingly have forgotten. (Is it me or do interactions between people nowadays seem much more superficial?)
So, the weekend is upon us and I will spend the next couple of days taking extreme advantage of what little time there is before they return home. All of the time knowing that even though we don't see each other everyday, we can make the best of this amazing connection!
Have a great time and I'll see you all next week!
