Life's been interesting lately. Even more than usual, this seems to be a season of making your own reality. Writing a new future. I'm not sure if that applies just to me and those close to me, or more generally, but I for one am celebrating the season.
And today, I'm celebrating more than just the season. I'm celebrating the purchase of a new car. It's a 2001 Ford Focus SE. A "station wagon" though it looks a bit better than the station wagons of yore. I really like it, it's roomy and comfortable and has a ton of cargo space. I've even named it already. "Makia", the hawaiian word for "focus" and one of the seven Huna principles. It's a break from my previous practice of naming cars after people from Alorya, but like I've been saying this is a season of blank slates and new beginnings. And this name feels right to me.
I'm going to have a lot more free time now. I don't have to get up at 5:30am anymore to get to work at 8am. I can even start work up to a half hour later, since I don't have to metro to class anymore, and can stay at work until 5pm now. With the extra rest, extra time, and the obviously increased mobility, I'll be able to get a lot more done. I'll also be seeing people more, hence the title of the post. Especially once I graduate from school in a few weeks. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with everyone again, and even making it back to Open Study on a regular basis. I've missed folks lately.
Anyway, I'm pretty tired. It's been a long (but overall amazingly good) weekend, and I think I just need some rest and relaxation after all the excitement today. I'm gonna head for bed in a few. Goodnight everyone, and sweet dreams.
