Buck Up!

Dear K,

I started seeing somebody. I really like her. We just had our first date last night. But we've been hanging out all week. It's one of those head rushes that takes you out like a tackle from nowhere. You're trudging along in the snow and then someone wraps their arms around you and you find yourself on the ground in spring rubbing your head and wondering how you got there. It's a reminder that the world can be a fine place to live in, and maybe all we need is just a little kindness to get by with. Just somebody to look at you and say they like who you are and what you do and how you do it.  Thinking about all the time I spent crying into the wind, trying to get back something that I left, trying to march upstream in a river when the water's already in the ocean, and it strikes me that I'm a fool, and I'm glad I'm a fool. I'm an idiot in a good way. I'm really enjoying life. I've been going through a lot of ups and downs and this life is quite a wild ride and I'm so glad of it.

Cheers,

K
