Lucky

Days like today remind me of how very lucky I am.

I don't have to answer to anyone or do anything I don't absolutely want to do, with the exception of my job, and I'm lucky to have one that I do enjoy.

I'm so enjoying the new neighborhood. Tonight, I went down to Angel Falls (a coffee shop) with Heidi. We sat on the sidewalk patio and shot the shit with the guys at the next table. There was no agenda going on, just a bunch of people enjoying an awesome evening. I love nights like this. It was warm, yet pleasant to be outside. There was a nice breeze. There were friends, conversation, and laughter.

Times like this, I wonder what in the hell I need a man for? I'm so happy now. Why complicate my life with a relationship that will probably end up going to shit anyhow? I think my bout of being lonely has passed, which is good. I was starting to feel like a whiny little bitch. I mean, yeah, it comes around sometimes, that feeling, but it always goes away.

I'm blessed beyond measure with all of the genuine love and friendship that I have in my life. Truly, I wouldn't lift a finger to take another thing.
