Today - Random Musings

Things I learned.felt.enjoyed.pondered today, August 14, 2010.
(In chronological order!)

1. I love waking up when it's a little chilly in the apartment. No fan. No A/C. Just open window and some serious chill.

2. I hate when that chill comes in August because it makes me think that summer is nearly over.

3. Thanks to the insane lateness of Labor Day - that end is way further off than I think it is!

4. I loved the meeting I went to this morning. Great ideas were shared. I shared. I felt supported. I am blissful.

5. Reading on a stoop with the sun shining down is a pretty amazing experience.

6. Eat Pray Love is not nearly as good as the book. Julia Roberts is too Julia Roberts-y and it feels forced. It's also insanely long.

7. I want to go to Bali. Yesterday.

8. Making new friends is a delight. Had a first friend "date" with a new friend and she's terrific. We pondered love, work, balance, communication and the way society rolls now vs. how it used to.

9. Today was a perfect summer Saturday in NYC. No crowds. No clouds. Just bliss.

10. Swimming every now and then takes the boredom out of cardo. The pool at the JCC is a gorgeous place.

11. Missing my goddaughters a LOT. Especially when I visit with their cats. The apartment feels so empty. The city feels even lonelier without them.

12. MI-5 is a brilliant television show. I love it. I just do.

13. Peaches and blueberries are a wonderful combination. Especially at the end of a summer day.

14. I've missed blogging (especially my "Random Musings" posts) but I've had to start journaling for my OA stuff and I find myself to be creatively tapped out at the end of most days. I am choosing not to share the OA journaling, I need to keep that close to the vest as I strive for recovery and serenity, but I will try and blog more often none the less.

15. I love staying up on a Saturday night with the express purposes of skyping with my beloved friends in India!
