Choices

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

Today's Wednesday quote I am borrowing from a friend's facebook post today. She told me recently that she's trying to write something "positive or insightful" each day. And, for when you read this, I don't think it's cheesy at all :)

I've always been a big debater (with myself) about choice, change and decisions. When I saw her quote today I thought it was just perfect, and so true.


"The minute you choose to do what you really want to do, it's a different kind of life."
R. Buckminster Fuller

I hope everyone has had a great week so far. Here's to the last two days!

Happy Wednesday, all.

Are We Really Getting That Old?

Thursday, February 2, 2012

Tonight was one of my best friends' birthday so a few of us got together for some tapas and sangria. We had a nice two and a half hour dinner, and headed on our separate ways home.

As I entered my apartment building (which as a side, is across the street from a college campus), I said "hello" to my doorman who is there every week night when I get home. Tonight I got home at 9:45, not 5:45 pm. This is what happened from there:

Doorman: "You just getting home now?"

Me: "Yes, was out for a girlfriend's birthday."

Doorman: "Nice, have a good night."

Me: "You too."

*I head over to the elevator where another girl is walking into it right in front of me.

College girl: "What floor?"

Me: "Eight, thanks."

College girl: "So, you were out for a friends' birthday, and you're home already?"

Me: "Ya, we have to wake up early for work in the morning."

College girl: "But still, it's a Thursday. You could still be out for a little while longer."

Me: "Well, I guess this is what happens when you get old."

College girl chuckles to herself, out loud, and gets out at her floor.

I mean, really? Are we that old? I don't feel that old. And, to be honest, I much prefer our long dinners on a week night, to our crazy nights out of our younger years.

To college girl in the elevator: you just wait. Those sweat pants that you've been wearing all day, savor those moments because this is your future, and will be here before you know it!
