sardines

on the MUNI for my morning commute.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have retrieved to my old San Franciscan ways. I live in an incredible home, old Victorian, antique door knobs, the first microwave ever created, the most extra ordinary garden, and all to myself for a few weeks. it feels so refreshing, especially after crashing on couches for a while. the neighborhood is great, a couple dives, couple of restaurants and shops and the best part is the Golden Gate Park right outside my window, practically. i really feel rejuvenated and really good about my decision to finally cross the bridge and live here. there really is no other place in the world like San Francisco. its 7 x 7 mile area encompasses the most amazing, ridiculous, and hypnotic personalities. people smile, they say hello, they apologize when they step on your feet on the way to work.

besides my new place of residence, i have been doing well. well... better! if attitude is the key to well being, that is. i am getting ready to go on my big trip to Israel, my biggest fear : shorts.....

I have also been doing a lot of internal therapy. i've learned a lot just in the past 6 months about myself, about others, about my environment and the world in general. i decided to have more patience, to really listen to those around me, to pay attention (fighting my ADD!), to be loving and giving and respectful... yes all the things that i never thought i wasn't, nor do i think that i have not been, but would like to be more conscious of the way i compose myself and present myself to others, especially to those that are truly and generally awesome human beings.

i also made a new friend. a friend of a friend who moved to the area recently and we are sort of house hunting together, i have no idea where i will be living in September, but somehow things work themselves out.

what will come of me....
