So, you think you can reinvent yourself?

I AM. Yeah, so I thought I was/am until just the other day when I had a chat with Pete. More on Pete in a moment.
< rewind >
Year: 2009
Mission: to change everything about my life
‘09 stats: moved 3 times, sold 2 homes, changed car and hair color, friends and all furniture, with the exception of my mattress, kitchenware and tv; which has since been upgraded. Boyfriends, and boy friends, girl friends, art work, and finally “job/career”….NEW EVERYTHING…

Yes, I feel like a new person it’s my first “adult apartment” yet I have a long tale of 1950”s Suzy homemaker/MILK this is fun, light feeling and freeing, liberating you can recreate you life, your health, your attitude, Your thoughts create the life you are living, will live, have lived,….

NOW:
Pete and I are sharing the conference table and free WIFI both deep into laptop face. Time passes, work gets accomplished and conversations ensue, cool, it’s all good…
ME
“Ta da da dada here’s my cell phone, let me get yours? Ok great thanks that’s me calling you”
PETE
“Yeah, I know that number”
ME
“What number!? My cell phone number? I just got this phone, it’s new it’s a new new phone with a new number as well ….I was so happy to get a 305 area code back”
PETE
“That used to be one of my first old cell phone numbers. I had that number once before”

SIGH
Can we really change? Are we just regenerating the same old ideas isn’t there more? In the grand universe of cell phones in the Unites States of America can there not be an infinite number of cell phone numbers? AM I asking for too much? I’m just trying to be me all over again but better, conscience, given, helpful and compassionate, should I go on? That’s more my map these days.
Hey, Pete call me sometime… : )
