View from my 6th floor balcony 6/4/2010 4:51:54 AM
For some reason I woke up at 5am, and when I realized I was not going to go back to sleep, I through back the covers, opened the blinds, made coffee and started staring at this damned computer screen, still wishing I was sleeping...but that's not going to happen.
Sunday is going to be a busy day. I am planning to go to a film festival at noon, then to a concert later in the afternoon...the trick is figuring how I'm going to get there by public transportation. Now, I'm not complaining, after all, it was my choice to sell my car, to quit driving, to give up little bit of independence, I'm only adjusting to the new challenge.
I just looked out the window and my strawberry plant is depressed, no sun. My Violets are begging for warmer weather, and on a stand near the balcony door sits a packet of green bean seeds that, as yet, have not been planted. While being the eternal optimist, I still think mama nature has a lot to do with how well my little garden grows...I just wish she would send a little more sunshine.
I'm thinking good thoughts...Oh by the way, last week's discussion topic of Being open to diversity went quite well. This week the topic is Taking Risks...very interesting.
