Leaving New York

Leaving New York certainly deserves a post.
SomeTHINGS I will certainly miss....

1. The subway tops the list for me. Finding the train jam packed with people when returning home at 4 am makes the weekend feel limitless.
2. Street/Subway music. iPODS are junk once you get feel the beat of the energy of these enthusiastic gritty new york street musicians. The music always brings a bounce to my walk.
3. Food carts. Where else can you grab a freshly made smoothie when rushing to work, completely on the run.
4. The city has my favorite "Made in India" manhole covers.
5. Its safe. I have never felt stalked or lost no matter what the time is.

Waiting for winter.

Are you SERIOUS!!

On a dreary rainy lonely weekend I found comfort on my couch covered with a shawl, a warm cup of steaming tea in my hand... in May. For a moment I did not want it to bright and sunny. There have been days in the last few weeks that have given the assurance that summer is around the corner. The wait for summer began months ago, but I realize that there is a cozy and comforting side of winter that could be missed. Just something to keep in mind on a hot restless summer afternoon.
