Gratitude

It's easy for me to get lost in the daily grind.
Forgetting to appreciate the people in my life who bring me joy;
Acknowledging the opportunities that have sustained my journey.
Especially in LA, I'm always working, fighting, planning for the next venture,  I over look the adventure I'm on today.
I'm grateful for my past, and hopeful for my future-
But I want to be better about giving thanks for today!

Homeownership

Overwhelming joy wrapped up in:
Stress,
Projects,
Maintenance,
Taxes,
Dinner parties,
Family gatherings,
Quite nights near the fireplace.
I'm beside myself with excitement and uncertainty;
Life is always a wild adventure, now I officially have a home base to feel safe.
It's a beautiful day!

When You Party Until 2 AM...

You sleep until NOON.
I HATE wasting days because of laziness.
Still, an adventure is always fun, and last night was no exception.

Airport Goodbyes

Once again at an airport.

I've always associated airports with sadness-

Despite the fact that happy times come from visiting family and friends,

Not to mention awesome vacations...

Yet my lasting memories of airports is always from the end of a wonderful visit.

Saying goodbye.

This trip is especially difficult, because I had to say goodbye to my gram for the last time.

I'm always thankful for new adventures, but going to the airport is always bittersweet.

I've spent my adult life leaving people curbside.

I'll never get used to it.

But I'm learning to deal with it.

...very slowly.

Silver Dreams

It's already a gorgeous day in Los Angeles.

I sit overlooking the silver shimmer that reflects off of the vast city-

Stretching all the way out to the peninsula where I grew up.

As my eyes scan the land of dreams,

My own childhood desires come speeding back!

I left this city once in pursuit of new discoveries-

Only to return home to finally accept,

I belong here.

My heart yearns for the sun-drenched streets lined with palm trees-

Where stars are more visible in the daylight.

Like an overexposed 80's song,

I love LA!
