A Quoteable Night ...

I was talking to an old friend today, as I am back in Medicine Hat ("the Hat") for this Thanksgiving long weekend.

It was the first time I had seen her since my breakup with Sarah, and she said something that I have been tossing around in my head all day. She said:

" ... I just pray that you meet that someone who just gets you ..."

I never really thought of it that way. I know that I am a ... well .. unique person. I enjoy being this way. It can be fun and exciting, enjoying many aspects of life; but for someone to understand this in my, well I don't think that they are a dime a dozen.

The other thing that got me thinking was that we watched a movie tonight. The premise of the movie was that you need to let go, enjoy life and just be who you are. But it has been a night of quotes, and the one that really got me had to be:

" ... how can you plan life ... "

Its something that I try to do. I have consumed myself with planning out my every step, to know where I am going, and what I am doing for the next hour, the next day, the next week and the next year(s). Is that wrong, I don't think entirely; but I wonder if I have become too consumed with this obsession of my future.

I don't know what the right answer is, maybe I should stop thinking and just do what I want - because I will be honest, there are things in my life that I just don't do because it is too unknown. We'll see where the wind blows, and where it will take me.

I guess its like the movie "Yes Man!". Sometimes we just need to say Yes, but we also shouldn't do it blindly.

I guess the next while I need to focus on what this balance in life is ...
