February Me Date
i did mention that one of my goals this year was to make me dates more frequent, yes? well today all but begged me for some soul time, and i have learned to listen to its needs.
for my monday lunch break, i wandered the two blocks over to westlake center for a polish sausage and some sunshine. i slowed down my walking pace, i took a quantity of concentrated breaths, i made eye contact and smiled, i giggled at the charm of the turkish hot dog vendor, "my dear, your lunch is ready...". i sat and enjoyed my lunch while people-watching - which mainly consisted of ambitious black coats whirling by in a hurry and a group of raucous street kids flipping each other off.

my soul churned inside me.
and the morning spent under florescents and staring at taupe-colored cubicle walls was suddenly not so bad.

as i headed back to work, i had the savory lingering of good food in my mouth, the moving themes of redemption in my soul, and a much needed wind at my back.
i will do this again soon.
once a month?
when will you take yourself out?

I think you should definitely keep pursuing solitary dates; when you can escape the hum drum of work, indulge in Polish sausages and brilliant pieces of literature... You have inspired me to do the same; I thinking that today at lunchtime; I wander off to somewhere I haven't been before, get lost in the back streets of the harbor and chinatown. I like smelling all the fresh roasting duck and see the buckets of bokchoy and greens spill out into the street...
Oh People watching! I wish I had more time (and less places to be!) to spend more time people watching!
:) It's a nice easy way to pass time by yourself, go you for partaking in more solitary dates!
