Working at the mall is going to be great! Not only am I surrounded by books and (more importantly) people who love books, but the constant influx of new people means that I'm meeting and re-meeting all sorts of exiting individuals.
My first day out on the floor, who should walk back into my life but Zeeshan, a dear friend from college. And my second day in front yielded a stunning reconnection with one of my wonderful friends from high school named Lizzy. Fortunately we have the kind of friendship that picks right back up where it left off regardless of how much time has passed. Seeing her again further cemented my decision to stay in Columbia for a little while longer. I take all of these random encounters as signs that I'm headed in the right direction.
Today, I was off and got to spend the afternoon with Fallyn, who was passing through town on her way home for a weekend trip. We went craft shopping and had a great catch-up lunch and commiserated about how much we would miss summer camp this year. Having someone who is going through a similar phase in their life is great and she is incredibly supportive of all the changes that are happening in my world. I only hope that I can give her the support and strength that she has given me.
When a friend, past or present, crosses my path I'm always grateful for the chance to reconnect and catch-up. Hearing from others always gives me great perspective on my life and my goals.
