Lauren, I thought of you! I know you have been reading the book, which got me to thinking once again about my ambitions to read it and my lack of drive to see it through.
I really do want to, but so far there has not been time for it. Especially now with work keeping me so occupied, but if anything can motivate me that can!
Not that I have a lot of room to talk, but y'all should go read it too! I know it will be worth it!
It's almost fall!!! Yes, the coolness is coming! This week I have been working the window quite a bit at work and several days that included mornings. I have been surprise at how much I have enjoyed the mornings, but it has meant that I have been able to watch the sun come up, breathing the
air, and watching the shadows rise and the fog lift. Several days recently
it has been rainy, which of course, I love and Wednesday I even saw a
hot air balloon! I have always had a fascination with them. I am not
sure if it is because of their bold colors, or their ability to soar
over all the life we experience daily in a seemingly untouched way. The one I saw was
orange and yellow and I could hardly keep my eyes off of it. I would
look at the customer at the
window and then suddenly find myself gazing off into the sky. I think
the only thing that could have made it worse would have been if the sky
had been a dark rich blue. It was, instead, a mild medium blue, which
was nice but not quite the same. The weather was perfectly gorgeous.
Here is a picture I found a long time ago. I just love it. It inspires me.
If you don't feel anything and don't understand why I love this, then just bear with me. I'm sorry. What else can I say? :)
Funny that I should be writing about something that inspires me right now, because I am listening to music that inspires me as well. Ok, so a lot of music does that, but this group almost always does this for me. You should go look them up. They are called "Secret Garden."
Right now I'm listening to The Promise, but many others are quite good. My favorites are the instrumental ones (which are most) and just a warning that some of the ones with words are a bit on the strange side. Anyway, a couple I really like are, Passacaglia, Silent Wings, Appassionanata, and Illumination.
Here is their piece entitled, "Reflection" as a sample:
Enjoy!
Today I worked window during lunch and if we had kept a steady flow of cars, we probably could have broken our all time record, meaning that we were fast enough if we had only had enough business. Sadness, because that would have meant milkshakes all around for those on drive-through.
Later, I went on headset... let me just say this word, "stressful."
Enough said, almost. It was my first time as both headset and drink maker.
It was good practice though. Now, enough said.
I have been slowly working on a new music project. I haven't had much time for that lately, but I have been trying to find time whenever I can. Maybe eventually I can start posting some of my work on here. Still, that is probably quite a ways off, so don't get to excited. Just a hope.
Well, I have things to do and you may as well, but even if you have time to spare, I am still going to let you go! Enjoy your weekend and make the most of your time, we are never promised tomorrow!
