Airport Daydreams

It's finally here.  The day I get to go home to the RGV.  I am sitting in the Houston airport waiting to board my flight.  I'm surprisingly early this time and I figured I'd be exhausted when I land and wouldn't gather the energy to blog.  I'm thinking of this commercial and secretly hoping it happens to me.  Can you blame me though?  Maybe that's why I am early today.

I do love airports though.  Am I the only one who thinks there is a romance about them?  People watching, seeing people arrive at their destination, people eager to see friends and loved ones.  Lovers, grandparents, mothers, daughters, husbands, wives, the men and women who serve our country, doctors, business people.  You see it all.  I particularly enjoy making new friends at the airport.

This evening I spotted a good looking someone who caught my eye from about 20 feet.  Nice smile, check.  Dressed low-key but put together, check.  Pulls out a book to catch up on reading, check.  Scoping out the title of the book...still working on it.  Wedding ring finger bare, check.  Call me a creeper, or call me a dreamer, I enjoy admiring from afar.  There have been songs written about moments like this, poems, books.  I just hope that by off chance we share a row on our flight #wishfulthinking (Yep, just did that).

Today I am thankful for

• Conversations with my best friend
• Seeing my family tonight
• Road trips alone with my thoughts
• Flights alone with my thoughts 
• Fourth grade pen pals 

Catch y'all en el valle. 

Back to some daydreams ;)

Be Thankful

"Seek to learn constantly while you live, do not wait in the faith that old age by itself will bring wisdom." - Solon

I am thankful for the seven lovely ladies I have been blessed to also call my friends this year.  Four of them live across the street from me, and three I live with.  We had our very own Thanksgiving dinner tonight, complete with turkey and all.  We put on quite a feast, so big that we will be feasting together tomorrow evening as well.

Nothing like fine dining with great company. I laughed so hard at some great moments tonight.  Also, we used this website to set up our secret santas.  The holiday season is officially here! I'm listening to Carol of the Bells and just love, love, love this beautiful time of year.  Everything is magical.

Today's Happiness Journal Update:

• Lemons...beautiful and perfectly crisp lemons.

• Thanksgiving feast with great company
• My secret santa is...shhh! I can't tell.
• Sometimes gravy is brown ;) 

What are you thankful for today?

Let's discuss the most depressing moment of my life.

I am sitting in my living room taking a fifteen minute break before my yoga class and I turn on the television to find this precious gem catch my attention.  I stopped, I pined, I perished as I discovered the storyline that very well could be my life one day (wishful thinking).

Only to find that...it was a ruse.

Wouldn't it make for a fabulous storyline, though?  Better yet, wouldn't this be the most perfect next chapter to my life?! I knew you'd agree :)

On a brighter note, I am starting my Happiness Project Journal today.  I am challenging myself to write at least one sentence every day for five years.  Is that not a manageable way to keep a record of life?  I am certain that I can get this done.  I will give updates here for y'all.

So, today Tuesday, November 13, 2012
