hence the GREAT driving

So my sister came yesterday. And how did I know, we were wearing the same thing and our hair was doing it’s CRAZY and WILD thing. All the way home, I was driving and being insane so we were extremely safe. Really, focusing on the road is like trying to hit the golf ball straight the the fair way. It’s better to aim for the antelope in the rough and the ball will fly right into place. Anyway, this much anticipated date has finally arrived and I’m SUPER EXCITED. Hence the great driving.

Reuniting with people you know who live far away can go one of two ways. Either you’ve been in contact with one another and can start from yesterday’s conversation and go forward or you’ve talk to the other sporadically if at all and therefore spend the next several hours catching up. Both are fun and have their advantages. The sporadic check in gives a person a surprise to his day and hopefully a big grin. The daily updates allows a person to share in the other’s joys and woes as they happen. Such a situation offers both people the opportunity to step out from their world and share with perspective to each other. And if one doesn’ t have perspective the other one certainly will.

I love that I met my “twin” and she already knew what was happening tomorrow in my life. And I knew what she ate on her flight over. We had new stories to tell from the days events, more tales to tell about life, and excitement abounding. Hence the great driving.

And more than that, meeting people you’ve talked to more than every 3rd Tuesday after the full moon establishes a relationship that moves conversations from “How are you?” and “What’s new?” to “What are you dreaming to do next year?” Which could turn out to be “Hey, you too?” Making plans, encouraging dreams, holding each other accountable to those hopes. Such reunions get me pumped up for the moments, hours, days ahead. My head’s churning, her head’s brewing. It’s exciting. Hence the great driving.
