I had a perfectly fabulous weekend spent with people I really enjoy. Sometimes there have been periods in my life when I have found myself sucked into people I tolerate as opposed to people I enjoy. Those times are, of course, a result of my own weakness or neediness at the time since no, sorry, I can't is always an option but at times mustering that against the tide of some people becomes heavy and impossible. I feel blessed at this time in my life because the people who have come into it recently have not been those kinds of people. I do not feel hesitant about spending time with them. What a wonderful relief! And what amazing women these people have been. Every time I spend time with them I find myself more in awe of them and things they have survived, accomplished and learned. I can learn from them and grow through them and only hope I have enough to offer back. In my 29 years I have done quite a bit, it is the byproduct of having absolutely no idea what I really want to do with my life. So I dabble in this that and the other and hope some day to find my true calling. I am fairly happy now so maybe what I am doing right now is my true calling. I'd like to be more successful at it but have been slacking in the areas I should not be slacking, so it is my own fault. I feel strength from those around me because I see how amazing they are.
But I digress. My weekend was blessed with good times and great people. A perfectly fabulous night out at a club where I got to reconnect with a number of wonderful people, great conversations, a day of rest to recoup my strength and a day in the woods picking berries, playing in a spring and climbing on rocks. Sadly I missed the berry season by a week or two, but we still got enough for a pie I think. It just took a little more time and a little more hunting than last year when I came home with ten 10 gallon tubs full of them. No berry mead this year sadly. I did find a nifty little geode though. I always have to pick up a rock from every adventure I take. I have a large box full now which I can't lift. The copper ore from Copperopolis is the coolest still and that trip was 2 years ago. I think this geode is up there as well. It is the first one I have found in nature. The one downer of my weekend was seeing a most likely fatal motorcycle vs cars accident on the freeway. It seems the tire on the bike blew out and the bike and rider ended up hit by and then under a car which then swerved into another car. It happened about 30 cars in front of us. I am thankful we did not go any faster, I remember the bike passing us as we merged from one freeway onto another. While the accident was no one's fault, or maybe the bikers own fault for not maintaining his tires properly, I would still have been very sad had I hit and killed someone regardless of how out of my control it may have been. I think I'll make a point to check my tire pressure today. Improper tire pressure supposedly is most often the cause for blowouts and I know a blow out on my car could be just as deadly as this bike accident looked like it was.
I also learned all I needed to know about some people yesterday. It is easy to get sucked into hate and bitterness and to try and conform when you feel under attack. Thankfully I have been around the block enough times to take hate and anger and criticism with a grain of salt and ask a few more questions before taking such people too seriously. I'm happy to report, as expected, the hate and nasty is just that, small angry people with nothing better to do with their lives. They say one thing but when put to the test they fail about as miserably as one can fail. Either you're with us or you're against us. Yeah right, how about I just don't care? Is apathy not an option? Guess not. Little hateful people out to use others for their own sick entertainment. They hate you when you are not helping them and then when they think they can mine a little dirt from you they kiss your ass. How pathetic. I hope in time they can find ways to become happier people and more loving of themselves and those around them.
Here we are on a cliff.
