Someone told me today that it's the first day of Fall. And since I happen to think that is something that should be celebrated. Celebrate I did. After work. On a Friday night. Right in my new work neighborhood.
I love exploring this whole new area of town. Just 1 block from where I work. Such fun. All these interesting, slightly funky looking places - each with their own unique vibe. I plan to visit each and every one of these places in the months ahead. I am putting all my friends on notice that this is the new "hot" place to be. Tonight we went to Thomas.
My camera battery started flashing that it was out of juice as soon as we got there. So annoying. I am going to have to talk to my camera assistant about the need for available fresh batteries at all times. I was forced to nab this photo off their web site.
We sat up on the rooftop and enjoyed the setting sun, the breeze, the sounds from the street below. We talked about how good change is. Everyday when I leave my new job my head is full. Bursting with new people, new things I am learning, new projects to participate in. I always loved the beginning of a new school year when I was growing up. I think it's part of why the fall is my favorite time of year. As I have begun this new job all of those "new beginnings" feelings have been awakened. I am enjoying each and every one of them as they hit. The mojito martini, spicy grilled shrimp, and thomas fried potatoes were just perfect for a Friday night supper of celebrating. Marking all that is good about an ordinary Friday night hanging out with a friend.
Lovely, positive thoughts - thank you Carol!

You articulate so well all the things I am thinking if I would slow down long enough to think them. Love how you make the little things the big/fun things, if that makes any sense at all...
