Ever-changing present

Wow -- so here it is, and if you had asked me a week ago what I would be doing in 1 month's time, I certainly would not have said going on a 5 month adventure to South America, Antarctica, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. But here I am today, and if you ask me what I'll be doing in a month, I will tell you that I will be embarking on a 5 month adventure to the places listed above. How quickly things change.

3 weeks ago I would have told you that I was never getting married or having children and out of nowhere comes someone who changes my mind about those possibilities. The likelihood is still VERY slim, but the fact that I fell (this is a typo. I meant to say felt, but rereading it, I find the word fell fitting as well) this way at all is pretty amazing considering where I've been in respect to love for the past year.

One of my friends says "everything happens right on time." I've always believed this to be true, but it still amazes me every time something happens to reconfirm that notion.

Life is an amazing thing. It fascinates me and confounds me.
