the movement of friends

Current mood: sugar high

Today I went to the airport to meet up with my friend, who was stopping over briefly on her way to Scotland. I've missed her the last couple times I went through Edmonton, so it was fantastic to be able to meet up. Besides doing the most amusing Korean girlfriend imitations, she's a wicked awesome cook. She brought me brownies (!!!) and paid for our kaiten sushi/dim sum lunch. While we sat in the park outside the airport, a guy had this beautiful chocolate brown lab puppy. Watching him all perky and hearing Geri's boy news made me happy to be there. Like there's good stuff to look forward to, whether it's a friend's relationship excitement or seeing the clumsiness of a puppy dipping his big feet in a pond for the first time. I felt like I'd forgotten how to be happy.

Remind me that I'm not cut out for too much happiness all at once. It makes my karma all wonky. I fear the consequences of being too happy. And yet I like the feeling. I hope the me in an alternate universe has figured out how to deal with this problem because I can't seem to get a handle on it.
