A New Day

Feeling much better today than yesterday. A couple of hours after signing off yesterday, I went with my mother to visit a family relative who always asks about me. He's getting up in age and not able to travel outside of home too often. Last time I saw him was at my cousin's funeral a couple of months ago. It was a good visit. He and his wife were looking after their great-granddaughter who is five. Nothing like kid energy to make you feel better. Before we visited my mother and I went to go get pizza. I had only one slice. Not bad considering that ten years ago I use to be able to garble down like anywhere from two to four slices in one sitting easily. Definitely an emotional eater but i'm much better at working through negative emotion these days compared to then. Crying easily is an outlet for all of the extra energy I have inside.

Anyway, it was good to see close family friends. Today Lor is coming to Brooklyn to visit me. It's always good spending time with her. She's such a good friend. With all of the celebration for the Brooklyn Bridge there is a lot of free stuff going on so i'm sure we will pop in on something festive. Miriam has been on my mind. I hope everything is ok with her. From her emails it sounds like there is a new season awakening for her. Transition. I want to check with her to see if maybe she can come to Brooklyn to visit me. She's never seen my space because her schedule is super busy and she is somewhat of a distance away. I'll see what she says.

I also started reading A New Earth last night. I bought the book at Costco two months ago with the intention of doing Oprah's worldwide class. I registered and everything but with the upcoming trip I fell behind. Took the book with me on the cruise and didn't read. I will make the time now to read and participate in the class which is posted in it's entirety by chapter. Was listening to Natasha Bedingfield's song "Happy". It makes me smile just like "Unwritten". I better get going. Lor will be here soon. More later.
