faith in fate

breathing a sigh of relief. i'm back in toronto. and it's finally snowing today. bizarre weather has meant that there has been no snow over the new year break here. not to say that it wasn't cold, but not as cold as it usually gets. i can only imagine the kind of havoc this causes for the local wild life. and since the bizarre winter temperatures are not a unique occurance in toronto, i wonder what disasters are brewing thanks to our fossil habit.

but somehow, in spite of the ongoing mayhem human life goes on. my time over the last three weeks was spent acting in the role of "sister-of-the-bride". a role for which i was really not prepared, certainly not emotionally. but she's happy. and he couldn't be more happy. it changes everything. but i keep faith. there was a reason why fate brought them together at this point. two lost halves reunited. a new beginning.

i guess my faith in fate has been strengthened somewhat. and while it's hard, i'm trying to keep myself focused on the task at hand: finishing law school. adjusting to life after nyc has been rough. i don’t think adjusting is even the right term for it. coming to terms with? whatever. but at least now i feel certain that it was all meant to be. there must be a higher purpose.

i don’t usually make new year resolutions. but here’s a belated one: 2007 will be the year of de-cluttering my life. paring down to life's basics. need to streamline my existence.

and may be reduce the melodramatic tone of these blog postings.
