It's fall!! Well, almost fall anyway. The leaves are beginning to brown, mornings and evenings actually manage to dip below 70 degrees (do they do things in Celsius where you all are right now? That would be so trippy. ha) The sun is just beginning to peak out over visitation's field and I've really never been happier for the weather to turn. It just puts me in a good mood! I mean, for goodness sake, I can wear pants now!
(my view from my room; so perfect this morning!)
It's moments like this morning when I can peacefully sit and enjoy the sunshine and crisp morning air that I'm reminded everything is going to be OK. This year has been going pretty well thus far, but with one good friend from home in the hospital, an uncle who just discovered he has late-stage cancer, and two friends suffering from depression there are a lot of 'whys' in my life right now. But sitting here, sipping my coffee and listening to the melodies of "WASHfm"'s blend of 80s classics and hits of today, I am inexplicably at peace. I kid and make fun, but seriously, couldn't really ask for a better way to start a 14-hour day (yep, headed to the Tombs in 30 min for a double. yay!)
I guess the point is: enjoy the little things while you're out there! I know most of you are having a blast but some of you are having a rough go of things, so take a moment to watch a beautiful sunrise, play with one of the local kids, enjoy a sensuous new flavor, find something amazing and I promise you'll all have a great story to recall years from now.
Also, if you could keep these two amazing gentlemen in your thoughts/prayers/whateverelseyouputintotheuniverse, that would mean a lot to me:
My Uncle Mike who found out he has late-stage throat cancer a week ago with his beautiful granddaughter, Lila.
My friend Jack who's in the hospital coming out of a coma aiming to avoid long term brain damage.
THANKS EVERYONE! You're all always in my thoughts and prayers. Hope you're having a ball!
