Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

So things have settled in a smooth lull since the last time I typed a post. My move went smoothly and I love my new space! Little miss kitty is still getting used to it and I feel bad about the fact that as soon as she settles into this spot we will be back in NYC in our old place. I miss New York soooo much! Who knew that it had captured my heart! I knew that I would have a greater appreciation for it once I left it. Funny, you have two sets of NY ex-pats out here. First set - they love every smelly, grimy layer of the city and go back every chance they get. Second set - they can take it or leave it and really only go back because their family is still there.

Although this weekend should have ideally been as relaxing as the last, it wasn't. I could shut my mind off. Overstimulation perhaps? I watched The Devil Wears Prada on DVD. Cute flick. I also went to the theater (gasp) to see The Pursuit of Happyness . Great film. From what I understand naturally the script writer took liberties with the story but they story that was told was engaging. It got a little long at the end and I felt burdened by all of his problems. I would love to the see the 20/20 piece that everyone keeps referring to. I may also try to read the book during the holidaze. Next movie I plan to see is Dreamgirls . During the 30 minutes (I kid you not!) of previews I saw a few upcoming movies that looked really good. Sunday was a complete disaste...
