Community

Having dinner guests is a nice thing. Even being in a situation where finances would be better spent on myself, there's a strong sense of community being able to share a meal with friends.

It was a good weekend overall.

Mom is on her way down for a visit this weekend. I went and saw the movie "Georgia Rule" today with Randy and Eddy. Originally, today was supposed to be my day off to myself to meditate and heal from last week's blow-up. Fate being the fun-filled free spirit that it is played car trouble games all weekend which had to be solved today. Shortly after the fix, Randy was in a branch of OCTFCU and called a woman a crabapple. The movie made me cry because watching families interact often makes me think of how my family touches and doesn't; speaks, and doesn't; shows love rather than says it.

The love that Randy has for his cats is misspent in my eyes. It's emotion that he hoards away instead of bestowing it on someone who can speak back to him. The love I give freely to my friends is not often stated as love and I hope my actions always speak for themselves, but I know that the words are important too.

"So long, farewell.....the Sun has gone to bed and so must I...."
The Sound of Music

Love is the sound of my music.
