Seamus said something to me the other day that got me thinking. He said that he never envied my money, or pretty much anything about me, except for my athleticism; the ability to just, as he put it, do things casually that most people could never do in their life. I was about to dismiss it as silly, when I thought about it a little more.
Really, it's true. And it's not true for any reason other than that I started so early and did so much work on it that I grew up with different perceptions of "possible" than most people have. I wonder, based on that thought, if I would have Awakened even if my sword hadn't ripped part of myself out of me. Not that I ever questioned my own Awakening, if nothing else. Still, I'm nothing that any other person couldn't become, with time and effort and energy.
I feel like I'm charging life head on, these days. School, work, wedding plans, training, leisure; it seems my life is always full, and I'm really liking it. No time to waste or dink around! Charge ahead!
Seamus has been making these absolutely delicious sandwiches lately as part of culinary training. Man, every one a winner! Katie offered to make me a sandwich every morning. I didn't want to be trouble for her, but I really wish I had accepted. That would have been a taste of heaven and a slice of family love all in one brown bag. Ah well, I know they love me.
It's funny, but the days all seem to blur together, and I can't say it's bad. Life is good. Life is really good.
