Smattering of Spiffy

15 05 2007

Check out this website…great music FREE! It’s for an anti-mall called The Lab. What I like best are the tunes streaming. They are happy, upbeat modern tunes that, I think, the kids today are into.

As for yesterday’s need for salt, it’s odd. Today, I crave sweet…and sour. There’s a lemon tart and limeade on the menu for dinner tonight. I guess what we really need is variety in life. It keeps any one thing from getting too bland, boring, overwhelming,…you get the idea.

I took Ms. Molly to the dog beach in Coronado today and, as I was watching her jump in the waves and chase a little puppy, I got to thinking…. (insert that “Saturday Night Live” music from Jack Handy here.) Man, leaving this great city is going to be giving up a LOT. There’s actually lots to miss…you know, there’s the obvious, like the PEOPLE who make this place awesome. (Though I’ve probably been such a stress-ball of angst and vinegar lately…they may be glad to see me go?)

Well, San Diego is a great town, that’s all. There’s Coronado, Petco Park (though I prefer to shop at PetSmart), Balboa Park, The San Diego Zoo, Seaport Village, Kate Sessions Park, The Marston House, Julian, and so, so, SO much more.

What’s your favorite spot in San Diego? I’ve lived here for nearly 30 years and I’m sure that there are hidden gems only YOU may know about…so, if they aren’t too precious…share. Maybe there’s something I need to do or see before I head North?

Well, I guess, at least for the moment, my less than pleasant mood has dissipated. I wonder if it’s because of that stellar soundtrack from that anti-mall website? Or maybe it was the sea air? Whatever caused the improvement, I won’t question it…when things go well, just go with it…and try to propagate it!

Keep the goodness going!

Well, back to watching Molly and thinking about all I’m going to be giving up by leaving…the flip side to that coin is all that I’ll be gaining by going. And, sure, who knows what the future holds…stay, go? It’ll all depend how the gains in Alaska develop, I guess. I do know that I’ll be gaining a different perspective. Hopefully I’ll mature a bit, too. If you know me, you know I have my immature streaks…or rather, I have streaks of maturity amidst a pretty infantile demeanor. :)

In any case, letting go of fear of losing or giving up something, that is the only way to be open to accepting the new and good things life has to bring. So, raise your glass of limeade and, “Here’s to the flow of life!” Cheers!
