On an entirely unrelated note. I have been contemplating lately the meaning in which life has in bringing random people in and out of your life. I am a firm believer that people come into your life for a reason. They are placed in your path to teach you something or to learn from you. A new potential employee prompted my thinking on this subject. I am in dire need of having an assistant at work and we flew in someone yesterday to see if he would be a right fit for the position. After a two hour interview and then having him work with me for a few hours, I was smitten. He was exactly what I was looking for and exactly what the company needs. However, his home is thousands of miles away, separated by an ocean and an entire continent and the owner is concerned that he will not like Cleveland. I understand his reasoning; Cleveland is not the most exciting city in comparison to where he is from, but I believe that to each is own. He may like it here, perhaps he'll like working for me. Perhaps I just don't like the idea of meeting someone, connecting with them and then the idea of never seeing him again, knowing he would be exactly what the program needs. Why would this person be placed in my path if I am only to meet him for a few hours and be left with even a day full of what if's? What is that supposed to teach me? Perhaps I am a little biased. I personally just hate the fact of meeting an absolutely gorgeous, intellectual, exotic man with blue eyes, a kiwi accent who speaks a bit of Italian, and not even having the opportunity to flirt with him a bit. I suppose it is out of my control. Fate needs to step in and I need to trust that everything happens for a reason.
Well lots to do today. I have loads of laundry to put away, a disaster of a living space. I need to do a leg and abdominal workout, pay some bills. I would like to run to the store and buy more canvas so I can paint today and since I haven't seen Ryan in almost a week I need to spend some time with him as well. School starts up next week. Life is busy enough as it is already so I am not looking forward to having to add studying on top of my never ending to do lists.
