Looking down and up, as I wait for friends at Brand Park
As things start to get rushed and I start to get frazzled this season, I am trying to remember that I can press pause any time.
Yesterday, I sat in an empty park and spent 5 minutes watching the world around me. It was so calming and uplifting. I wondered why I hadn’t done it sooner.
Moments like those, I think, will be my saving grace.
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
I wish I could have met you at the park & this is a good lesson to remember.
mine too. thanks for reminding me.
p.s., i love your feet.
Christine, as always, you have moved me to tears.
Your concise musings say so much, and sum up my feelings exactly.
I wish you and your family a wonderful new year, full of joy and creativity.
By the way, maybe you can publish a book containing your short posts and lovely accompanying photos. I would certainly buy it. :-)
