I'm sitting here in my recliner with one of those tables that slides over my lap, it's just like downtown! I'm telling you this because the Benadryl may make me a bit loopy!
I realized this morning, now that I've moved th the Alcazar, it reminds me of the time I spent in San Francisco last year. There's a sense of community, it's a neighborhood where people connect and interact with each other. I really like it, I'm part of something bigger than myself and that's great! Taking the bus was great, very easy to get around, everyone was both nice and helpful and the best part is you're connected. That's one of the drawbacks of living in the burbs, we tend to be so isolated. At home I find myself leaving my house, getting into the car and going to my destination, I do whatever I went for and then return home the same way. I say hello to my neighbors, but there isn't much interaction, I don't feel connected, I find I feel isolated. The interesting part is I'm not really aware of it until I'm someplace like this which is in sharp contrast to it. It's funny, sad really, that I was almost sleep walking through my life, everyday living had basically become a set of habits I wasn't really aware of I just muddled through each day, oblivious to all the wonderful possibilities! A lot of us exist that way and miss out on so much! This is just another way my cancer really is a very precious gift, because it's giving me a whole new view on life! It just goes to show we never really know what is going to be a blessing, we just need to stay open to the possibilities and the universe will give us everything we need! On that note I'm going to sign off, because I'm starting to get drowsy! Have a great afternoon and evening, I'll be back tomorrow!

It's like HHI.... we are all doing the same thing that no one else can connect to. On the outside world (the real world) we are doing different things at different times with different goals.
ReplyDeletethat world or this world... I miss you and will make sure you feel more connected <3
