a month after

It's been exactly a month after and I made it... still a little crazy, but still in one piece (barely). Had a little accident for doing crazy stuff, ended up sick for a couple of days because of it. Mended physically, still smarting emotionally. In all, it wasn't such a bad thing. I've got a couple of months before it starts hitting me again... I hope.

I know you're okay sweetheart. That is good enough for me. Think of me sometimes? You know how I feel.

a smile from the distant past

Had a dream of the distant past. There was nothing outstanding about it, except I remembered it after I woke up. For what it's worth, it's keeping me amused for the day. I don't know what the dream meant nor do I know why I dreamt it, but thank you for making me smile...

Driving around with no particular place to go, I stopped at a small inn for the day. I wanted to explore the little town I saw, maybe do some shopping, but mostly just to satisfy my curiosity. I checked in and decided to eat before going around. There was this cozy looking restaurant around the corner so I headed on out to see what they've got.

The restaurant was small, only a couple of tables, but it was very nice. A waitress showed me to a corner table and left the menu as she got my drink. I looked around appreciating the way they've made the place look homey. There was only one other person there trying to get a late lunch. I caught his profile at the corner of my eye and simply looked back again as there was something very familiar with him. I squinted fighting the glare of the sun to see who it was that caught my eye. At first I couldn't figure out why he looked so familiar, and then he turned to signal the waitress and our eyes met.

It was like being thrown back in time. "I know you..." he mouthed the words, as he slowly got up to go to my table. Typical him as I remembered said, "Oh my God! It is you! I can't believe I'm actually seeing you after all these years." And I said, "I can't believe I'm seeing you either, here of all places. "What are you doing here?" I asked. To which he replied, "nothing, just driving around and decided to stop by and explore."

At this point I told myself how totally weird it was that we were just both driving around and stopped here to look around. Talk about coincidences. But then again, I remembered he doesn't believe in coincidences, to him it's destiny. And he proceeded to remind me just that. That after so many years and miles away from home, we stopped in a place with the same goal in mind decided to have a late lunch and picked the very same restaurant at almost the same time giving us the chance to see each other. And just to drive his point home, he reminded me of our song back then...(which of course he had to sing) "somewhere down the road, our roads are gonna meet again, it doesn't really matter when..." I had to hand it to him, he hasn't changed (at least in that aspect).

And so it went, and off we went spending the rest of the day in each other's company. Together down the road, reminiscing of the past, talking about today and looking towards the future.

Ah dreams.... notice how it ends without finishing the story? How one wakes up from a dream wishing one can dream some more? Like I said, it made me smile...

new look

My friend wanted a new look for her blog so we spent the weekend doing it. Or rather, I did most of it, she picked what she liked. Anyway, since we're at it, figured I'd change mine too... thanks for lending me the picture.
