Funny Feeling
Ever notice how even though many of us do much of our communicating over email or instant chats we can still FEEL distinctly what someone on the other end is feeling? How cool is it that we can get a feeling tone from a typed sentence written by someone miles and miles away? I can feel if someone is being sarcastic or melancholy or excited in the phrase "what a day". I can even intuit if the person I am cyber chatting with is multi-tasking while they talk to me.
I love the information age and the internet. I love communicating via email and iChat and Messenger. I think people are more willing to be more honest becuase they don't have to face the reactions of other people. I also see how these same wonderful inventions are inhibiting us from recognizing and practising intimacy. But looking at the positive, I adore the written word for day to day interactions. My interpretation of the words I read help me learn possibly more about myself than the authour. I even love having fights on Messenger. I mean, I hate fighting, period, but If I have to, Messenger rocks. They say something rude and you can click the screen off while you take a chance to breathe and process and consider what you want to say back. It takes the reactionary time down. You can also vent by typing some seething, cuttingly, brilliantly insulting insult and never send it. This way you get to process your immediate feelings AND access a deeper wisdom and forgiving soul to edit your response.
Even blogs. How great are they? Giving people a platform to voice their opinions, dreams, goals, peeves. It is such an amazing gift. And you the reader, you can sit here and keep reading this or click the window shut. Brilliant. Love it.
(Brrrrrrr. It is cold in here.)
Update on me finding me. Went to an entrepreneur info session this a.m. I loved it. I know that I will run my own business someday. Have dreams of Jo Design. Wish I could just start it and know that I wouldn't have to depend of Jordan's eager participation. I could hire someone else? I could wait until I have all the skills myself to do it? Ya, It seems like timing. Hate waiting, though. Always have.
Right now, I am off to help Jen find a condo. Me and Real Estate can't seem to get enough of each other. This will be cool, though. My first wanderings into actual showings and watching Katie (agent) at work and soaking it all in as I 'try on the coat'. Not to mention making a sweet little Referral Fee.
At least I can say I feel closer than I did in July. Or even September. Interviews for jobs, possibly starting my own company, finishing up my Real Estate lisence. It is all good. Nearly there. Try on the coats. Be open to something fitting.
Live the life of my dreams.
