Weekend Musing

via Garance Dore

This makes me wish I were in Miami instead of in cold NYC.

However,  I will make the best of today.  Another event has occurred in my life, well in my family's life to remind me once again how important each moment is.  You don't have many, and to waste any of them is such a shame.  Life is so precious.  The times with the people that you love are precious.  So instead of wishing for the beach I will bask in the sunshine on this brisk day, laugh to myself at Mike's rambling frustration with eBay, order the shirt and blazer from J. Crew that I want even though my J. Crew card is almost maxed out, and love that I am alive and well.  Thank you Mary for the love that you bestowed upon my mom, and the spirit you have given to our family.   I feel like I knew you even though we had never met...and thank you for reminding me again to live life as I see fit, every moment and everyday.  I know you will continue to grace my mom with your positive presence and protect her in mind and body.

First Up? Miami!

Oh my goodness!  March was a complete whirlwind that went by in a flash!  There has been so much going on that I have hardly been able to catch my breath, hence the silence around here.  Yes, I was in Tokyo (more pics to come) but before that I was in Miami.  I absolutely adored it there!  The architecture, the crystal clear ocean, and the windy nights...I'm pretty sure I could pick up and move there in an instant.  Mike and I were there for three days, and then rented a convertible and drove to visit his mom in Orlando.  Everything about the trip was great, and I didn't really want it to end.
