perspective
November 22, 2007
so yesterday
i spent 10 hours in a car.
driving in holiday traffic.
at the beginning of the trip it took us 4 hours to go 50 miles.
but,
i find myself in the home i grew up in, and even now typing on a computer my parents had when i was in highschool.
there is something here,
in this city,
i can feel it in my blood.
the whole way home i couldnt help but get more and more excited with each mile.
like a salmon chasing the scent of its original waters.
thats how i felt.
there really is no place like it here,
cleveland.
i love it, it has its own pace, its own voice.
it really calls me when im away for too long.
and now,
im looking out the window into my backyard,
leaves are brown and orange and all over the ground,
and it has started to snow.
its perfect,
family and food that isnt healthy,
weather, and emotions.
the whole morning ive been thinking about perspective,
and how today really does mean something
despite football, and turkey,
the concept of taking time to think about all you have
all the chances youve had,
and everything that for some reason has happened for you.
it really made me realize that even when my life is nonstop,
even when im broke, or stressed,
i have so many things to be thankful for,
and thats what i need to focus on.
hope that everyone has a great day,
eat so much food that it hurts.
