many a chilly morning i've been sleepwalking to the nearest corner to hail a taxi. on the other side as the sun begins to rise i am surrounded by a wellspring of beauty in every direction. it is here that i begin my work and my heart is full at the prospect of so much earthly goodness. on my days off i take long walks, explore the farmers market, cook delicious meals, catch up on my reading and meet up with a friend or two. the boy and i are finally settled comfortably in our new abode. this weekend will mark six months. already i've caught the whiff of the neighbor's fireplace kindling on a recent cool evening. i will sorely miss ours this year but what i really miss is the outdoors. the mountains. the sea. that long stretch of road that leads to nowhere. far away from the yellow cabs, trash cans and street lamps where i can see my breath rise in the early light of dawn. the boy promises we'll be there before you know it.

I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees... I thought, "This is what it is to be happy. ~sylvia plath
