Living out here in New York is HARD WORK and is not quite like what anyone would expect... BUT that's why I have decided it is the most perfect place for me and Tommy to be right now. It's inconvenient, stinky, crammed, without the outdoors and our other family members and friends, and sometimes decides that it will hate you by throwing you large puddles you have to walk through to get across the street and then raining and raining and its just the beginning ha haha... BUT that's what makes this the most unique place ever.
I think I am developing a deep love for Manhattan. It's deep because it's a love hate relationship :) it's constantly changing things on me and hating me and then for a little I'll hate it back because I ran into somebody rude for NO REASON at the grocery store, etc.. etc.. but then there are times when I'm sitting still and I can hear the Spirit tell me that this place is really special and it's so good for me and I will never be the same and that I love it and I love that I am here with Tommytomthomas
(don't you just love accidental close ups? ha ha)
I'm telling you. you know you hit the high life when...
you've got your very own Chinese take out place that has free delivery
you've got a a local troubadour saxaphonist on your corner
you've got pandora playing from your TV
you've got a hallway that smells like a mixture of smoke and cooking
you've got all the time in the world to read or develop yourself but instead you choose to watch pointless episodes of psyche...
you've got Sir Thomas there to tell you the sweetest things you'll most likely cry
AM I BRAGGING? I think I am.
Amanda, you make me smile:) I am so proud of you for making the best of the New York Thing! You will treasure this time for the rest of your life. Can't wait to come see you and the hallway that smells like smoke and cooking and the corner saxaphonist and Sir Thomas. I love you two.
