I’ve been waking up early, starting my day at sunrise, one of the positive remnants from travel and jetlag. But these past few days I feel myself falling into bad habits, sleeping in, ignoring the outside world. I try to shake it off but the fogginess lingers.

a cocooning effect
Today feels different, I can’t quite explain why but my heart feels heavy. My rational mind blames it on the erratic change of seasons. And it’s not just me, even the nearby trees are confused, some leaves are yellow, others green. We have a sunny, humid day followed by a crisp, overcast one.

One of my friends is leaving New York City after 15 years and we spent the past weekend catching up with her Big Apple bucket list. First stop, the Georgia O’Keeffe exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum: We followed with a tour of the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and fell in love with the rose gardens:Continue reading “Weekend Warrior: a new chapter begins”
