It's been a while, apologies.
Marks of a successful day:
1. waking up and getting out of bed
2. being ready and on-time to Church
3. meeting new people and hanging out with friends after church
4. making that hang-out involve show business/networking
5. coming home and actually doing productive things like:
laundry
cleaning (bathroom, kitchen, various rugs)
eating my leftover thai food (delicious)
going for an adventurous run around my neighborhood
Why I love my neighborhood (Los Feliz, Los Angeles, CA):
1. The Griffith Observatory is visible from my street and every time I come home at night it is lit up like a giant star on a Christmas tree guiding me home and making the area seem more cheerful.
2. It contains various coffee shops, an awesome book shop, a boulangerie that reminds me of Paris, a diner that is not only famous but is green and orange, and an historical looking theater!
3. Walks around the beautiful neighborhoods (above me, where I can't afford to live) are filled with floral smells, wafts of outdoor dinner party conversation and happy clinking sounds, snippets of a classical clarinet player practicing, and a spectacular view of the sun setting behind the observatory.
4. I can work out by walking through said beautiful neighborhood because most of the hills are at 45 degree angles or more.
5. I can come home to a cozy apartment and write this while drinking some lady grey tea all snuggly warm in recently dried clothes.
You are making me cry! I love you my dear daughter...I look forward to a visit to take in your new world with such openness and delight. Blessings from your Mom.
