Moments of Permanence -

It's like I can feel my life coming together again.

Heading out shortly to get a bunch of stuff done today. I'm leaving in four and a half days - four and a half days! - and have a few things left to do.

I'm rapidly realising - as my new antidepressants kick in, I suspect - how my life has hope and promise again, how I can have ideas for the future.

Some of them are kind of "not yet" - for example, certain things I'd love to do that require me to be less injured than I am now, but that's okay - I'm recovering, I'm working on it, and in any case, long-term plans are for after three months from now. For the next three months, I'm busy having experiences and things.

One of the things about my plans - in Europe especially, but even in Britain - is that it's as much about the journeys between destinations as the destinations themselves. In Norway I'll be out to drive over 2,000km each way to get to the North Cape and back - that's a hell of a long trip, but the thing is, on the way, I'll be seeing things, and I can stop whenever I want to look at things more.

Every part of this will be new to me.

Before I was housebound and could jaunt about, trips with stops whenever I pleased to see whatever I liked made me very happy.

Thank you!

And thank you, seriously, for being so positive and encouraging - about everything. I've been terrible about replies lately, but the last little while has been so very, very rough, and you've really, truly helped.

You're awesome.

You're very welcome, and THANK YOU!!!

And that is very lovely and comforting to hear, because I'm having a very rough time the past couple days (er...I'm not sure which filters I have you on; unexpected death in the family early am mon. In shock and heartbroken.)
