Life

Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.

- Rainer Maria Rilke
Austro-German lyric poet

Two weeks from today I will start my new job, and although I'm a little nervous, the more overwhelming emotion is excitement.  I have also started packing up my books and movies, getting things ready to be moved.  I'll need to get more done tomorrow than today if I am to make a good dent in everything by this weekend though.

Heard back from Ace, and apparently he has a few weeks until his new job starts in the Active Reserves.  A steady paycheck for him again, that will be good... but insurance will get re-instated soon, I hope... and that will be good for the both of us! Heh.  I know I'm past due for a doc appointment at least.

And now... onto the quote I found this afternoon.  It seems futile to push against time and against life, trying so hard to mold life into what you want.  There are too many unknown variables, too many things you cannot change... I'm not so sure you have to make life the way you want it., but instead make the most of the life you already have.  I think the rest of life will fall into place as time progresses.

If you're always making the most of life's situations, it seems to me that a person will soon have the life he/she wanted most.  Life has a way of working out... and it's always moving on... there's a sort of comfort about that.
