Ride the Wave

So the past several weeks, I have been out surfing with my kindred friend from Arkansas. When I say surfing, I actually mean that she and I have been riding this incredible emotionally kinetic wave of events in our lives together. And this is not the first time. Shall I explain?

Since our friendship began many moons ago, we have noticed that she and I get oddly and utterly in sync with the major events in our lives at just about every main turning point. And I mean this in a "should have been a Twilight Zone episode" kind of way it has been so eery!

The most recent instance I think surpasses our previous record of how long we could stay so in sync at one time.

At first, it was great. One thing we have noticed is that usually either the wave turns out extremely amazing and positive, and others it positively crashes. This time, there was both. I was looking for improved performance at work, so was she. We started getting positive feedback in that arena within a few days of each other. Then, the wave turned. I was having turmoil with family, so was she. Then a little turmoil with family for both of us has transformed into epic conflict. It is only now that I feel we have ridden this particular wave and can go on with our usual non-dramalicious lives.

Happiness and misery both love company, and I could not ask for better surfing company. (Of course hubby is included in that company by default.)
