One Big Smile

I woke up two mornings ago, and for the first time in a very long while, I knew I had everything in my life I needed.  The sensation of nearly total completeness is a new thing for me; a new level of happiness.  I have a beautiful young woman in my life who’s perfect for me, and now I know we have equally intense feelings for one another.  We’ve spent the last two days together climbing in the sunshine, and they’ve been as good as any two days I can remember.

I’m ticking off goals and aspirations at an alarming rate these days.  I’m becoming an almost decent rock climber.  My contact strength (aka finger strength) is surprising me.  Yesterday I was pulling hard on horribly small and crimpy pockets, doing things that I would have never imagined my body being capable of doing.  The confidence in my movements has made me more capable on the sharp end of the rope, which is a pretty big deal for someone as afraid of heights as I am.

And I’ve gotten to a point where I can help others become better climbers too.  I dodged going into work, and C and I took a handful of friends out this past Sunday, teaching them the basics and walking them through the proper movements.  I love teaching people how to climb, sharing my little passion with others.  I’d like to do it for a living.

I with I knew how to explain it better.  I feel like all my stars have aligned for the time being.
