It's Saturday night and it's been months since I've stayed in on a weekend night. There's just way too much to do in this city and I FOMO easily on the weekends only because I'm a social person and I absolutely love going out in San Francisco. There is just such a variety here and the vibes are always good. And since I relax most week day nights, it's nice to congregate with good company to the plethora of restaurants and bars we have here. But not tonight. Nope, I'm staying in, writing a hand written letter to a friend across the world, and listening to whatever I want without interruptions. I love everything about this not-so-lonely-night in my adorable SF apartment:
Oh, and I found a use for this Moscow Mule tin:
I love looking around my apartment and feeling such a sense of contentment here. It's small, I don't have a dishwasher, and this morning I had to step over a man who fell asleep on my front porch. But I love it here. I'm happy here.
I was thinking tonight how it's natural for us as human beings to second guess decisions we've made in the past. When we come to cross roads and have to make a choice on which direction to take. It becomes even more difficult when we have absolutely no idea which is the better direction, left or right? East or West? Yes or No? And once we have made the decision, was it really the "right" decision? How would my life be different if I chose the other path instead of this one? It's so easy to be consumed by the "what if's", but we've all done it. For me, this is where prayer and reflection become such a necessity. We can ask our family and friends for help with decisions, but I believe that paying close attention to what God, our body and intuition are trying to tell us, is far more beneficial than any advice others who are out of our skin, could give. So I guess tonight, I just hope that you will listen to your feelings. Listen to the uneasiness or the ease that our bodies naturally give us when we're forced with difficult decisions. And once the decision has been made, try not to harp on it any longer. Try not to be consumed with looking backwards. So much of life is wasted on pointless thoughts over "would have, could have, should have."
When I was pinning tonight, I saw this:
Pretty perfect for what was on my mind tonight, and oh so true!
Here's what I'm listening to at this moment, she does the best Dylan covers!
And this...
