the times, they are a-changin'

October is my favourite month of the year - with the end of December coming in at a close second place for a Christmas fanatic like me.

It's a chilly and wild autumn day today, the kind I absolutely love.  Here it's sunny, now it's cloudy, rain is threatening, but then it's sunny again... the clouds are absolutely whipping through the sky on a racing wind.

It's the perfect metaphor for how I feel my life is going right now.

Whoosh... most fantastic relationship with best friend and favourite guy in the world keeps getting lovelier every day.
Swish... career development, client meetings, uncertainties, triumphs and try-agains, daily.
Zip... new and renewed friendships coming into focus, individually coming to the surface from time to time like the ingredients of a very good, very slowly-cooked hearty home made soup, making each day a new idea and each idea a good one.
Zoom... possible romance on the horizon, and while waiting for that to pan out time seems to s.t.a.n.d. s.t.i.l.l. in the delicious and torturous uncertainty, it rushes along at the same time.  Which poet was it that said something to the effect that in matters of the heart, days can seem like seconds and minutes can seem like years?
Vroom... did I really just turn another year older?  What?  That was over a month ago now?  No, that can't be right....

Just like the weather today, everything is flowing, changing, opposing itself so rapidly there's barely time to take it in.  Just like the weather today, there is no way to control or manage it.  Just like the weather today, I love it.

Bundle up, and accept the ride.
