Today was 'the day.' That day that everyone waits for their whole lives, when everything lines up perfectly. It was the day I've been waiting for since I was 12; the culmination of dozens of things I've tried to do.
...But I'll try not to wax poetical. :)
It was very simple: I didn't meet anyone, I didn't get married, I didn't have a child, or anything huge like that.
Today it was just me, my truck, my music, a great drive, a beautiful place, and my own (very small, but still!) archaeological survey.
I've been wanting to feel that kind of freedom, competence, ability, and independence for a lifetime. It only lasted maybe four hours. But it was there. It was 'that day.' It will probably be another 25 years before I get another day like that. I'm very grateful though, that I was able to recognize it when it came. And I'm pleased at how simple it was - nothing fancy or dramatic. It was just for me.
