it's the evening of day two. our third major event of the convention is about to begin in approximately 30 minutes. the one thing that stands out to me most with this year's convention is the realization of how much i needed an experience like this at this time -- a chance to step away from all the concerns and worries of life and just be in a moment of excitement and anticipation.
not that outside life hasn't creeped into my thoughts even in the midst of the euphoria of receiving a gift item or laughing with collector friends. they have, but somehow, in this environment, they haven't carried the same weight or made the same impact on my psyche. it's a wonderful respite. maybe one that will last even past this particular event.
even if it doesn't, i'm grateful for the mental/emotional break. may there be even more such moments in the next leg of my travel journey next week.
