It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

I was at a party last night, and a friend said, "I know you're going to do something fabulous now, and I can't wait to find out what it is."

It's true. I am.

Things always work out for me. Even knowing that, I still can't completely let go of my glass-half-empty stance, and I worry for a bit, but part of me knows that better times are around the corner. I've been hesitant about telling people about the change* that's going to create so much more change in my life. But 99 percent of the people I've told have been so supportive, it's getting easier every time. One of the silver linings of hard times is that you find out who your true friends are. I know I can do anything with them behind me. Even those who don't know me all that well have come through with the most heartfelt thoughts -- and interesting invitations. I never would have received them if I weren't where I am now. So, I'm saying yes to all of them. To all these opportunities for new experiences and for meeting new people and going places I've never been before and expanding my life. How can I not?
