Good morning

It's 639am. Blue is going nuts because he is bored.

i am taking Mr. George to his appointment at 7am in Baltimore.

I'm getting back to a routine 

and frankly the trip made me want another job. It was inspiring and energizing.

i know each life has its riches

and getting back to appreciating that is so important. The riches of my friends and family and Blue and community and art.

Other's lives may seem alluring but it's real important to remember and find the riches within and right in front of me once again that nourished and fueled my everyday.

I can aspire but the pragmatics which I've worked so hard to create in my everyday are a good reminder that I have a life as well as good things to appreciate. And I have the power to set my myself in motion to get some version of that aspiration. The trip was wonderful and I feel like it's changed my outlook!
