EIGHT PRINCIPLES DOT COM

Ten random things that make me smile:

1. The Killer Rabbit from Monty Python & the Holy Grail

2. The music of The Unicorns - especially this lyric:

We are the Unicorns.

We're more than just horses.

3. Putting on my favorite white blouse fresh out of the dryer

4. A full tank of petrol in my auto

5. Trader Joe's Hummus & Sea Salt Pita Chips

6. Thinking about walking barefoot on the hardwood floors in my own apartment

7. The Promise by Tracy Chapman

8. Memories of my first boyfriend, Marcus

9. Reconnecting with old girlfriends from high school

10. Memories of the SHORE (Jersey Shore - the Atlantic Ocean - Stone Harbor, specifically, Ocean City and Cape May, too!)

Tracy Chapman-The Promise

Remembering

Your touch

Your kiss

Your warm embrace

I'll find my way

Back to you

Please say

You'll be waiting.

...

Say you'll hold

A place

For me

In your heart.

I feel like dancing.  How long has it been since I felt like dancing?  Such a very long time.  Now, wait!  Don't fall down - in fact - are you sitting down?  Take a seat, if you're not already sitting down - which - why wouldn't you be - you are reading my blog - well, maybe you're on the metro and you are checking your Vox neighborhood posts on your Blackberry - if that's the case - sit on the lap of the old lady for whom you just gave up your seat before you read any further...

I'm not happy because I have a new man in my life.
I'm not in the mood to dance because I found new love.
I'm not giddy over some romantic notion or gesture I received.

I feel like dancing because I KNOW that my life is on the upswing.  I feel like celebrating because I have CONFIDENCE that everything is about to be SO GOOD that I will be beside myself with joy and elation. 

Now, this is news - because - usually, I require some kind of romance which involves partnership with a man in my life in order to feel THIS good - but that is not the case.  I feel this is a step in the right direction.  I feel almost grown-up.  No, really!  It sounds a little crazy to me - but - it's actually surprisingly SANE - all of this.  Phew.  What a good feeling.

Of course, now that I've gone and said this has nothing to do with a silly ol' MAN... I gotta ruin that - not retracting it - but - you know - I feel like it's even POSSIBLE I could have the beginnings of an actual relationship with a man - an amazing, intelligent, handsome, sensuous, exciting, compassionate, sweet, funny (very funny) and THRILLING man - EXTRAORDINARY - like no one I've ever met in my life.  I am so so so floored by this person that I have to wonder what it was about me that got the attention of God to send someone into my life who is so perfect for me in every way that it makes me cry to think about how happy I would be to have him in my life.  I hope he is part of my life for a very, very, very long time - in any shape that the relationship takes - I am grateful to have him in my life.
