Wake Up

I just moved to a new apartment. It´s great! Just the right size, perfect location, has hot water and no kitty pooping in my room. Waking up in a new place can be cool, and challenging at the same time. Today there was no ocean view or tea waiting for me from Nicole. You are reminded that even with an amazing circle of family and friends we each go it alone here. We are individuals first then we enhance ourselves by adding the special flavors, those special friends.

It is transitional times like these that awaken us the most though. It doesn´t matter where I live...the people who count will always be with me. As Nicole once said, ¨the ones who count aren´t going anywhere¨. I went for a run along the beach this morning, upon my return there she was at my door to share morning toast and talk.

My holiday wish is that more people could wake up and nourish themselves and the flavors of life, those friends and family that sustain you. I hear the news and all the haa bad holiday season, no one is spending money, comps are down, sales are down.´ Maybe this is a good year to celebrate without gifts. It´s OK, wake up and just be, be with someone you care about.
