I really like San Francisco. I had spent a week here in August with my family, and now after this stopover I’ve added San Fran to the short (very short) list of places I would like to live. Too bad it’s New York expensive and I’m unemployed…
Today was a perfect way for me to end my trip: leisurely paced, relaxed, and with good company. Having seen and felt so many things over the past year, I’m always looking for outlets for sharing and trying to express what’s jumbled up in my head. I’m also looking for different sounding boards to try and help me make sense of the jumble as it comes out. Some friends are great at helping you focus your gaze and reinforcing what you believe. Others are great at challenging you and offering perspectives you might have never considered.
I met up with my friend V for lunch and catching up on everything that’s happened to both of us in the past year. To say nothing of simply enjoying her company, talking with V is always such a rewarding experience for me. She has a way of turning thoughts to words that I would give anything to possess, and I find myself using parts of my brain I’m not accustomed to using trying to follow her questions and progressions of thought. Sometimes all I can do is sit and stare as my mind races to catch up.
After lunch V took me on a little walking tour of her city. I don’t remember so much about the places we went that afternoon, but I remember feeling completely at peace with the city and the moment, happy to be back in something of a comfort zone, and excited to meet whatever challenges I’m about to meet.
