Happy After-Thanksgiving Day

So, things happen, right?
Good things, bad things, so-so things.

Life is not stagnant.
It's never all good,
never all bad, or never so-so.
 Life is a constant flux.



Today, it's Friday, November 23rd, 2012
the day after Thanksgiving.

I was supposed to be in Spain today.
Enjoying the 15 degree weather, a few Mahous and the good company...
 or maybe not. 
Maybe I would have been so tired and drained from the trip
that I would have been stuck in my hotel room sleeping 
and not aware of my surroundings.

The truth is that I am here.
In my kitchen table, in my NY apartment,
shipping coffee and eating some toasts with peanut butter and jelly
listening to NPR, 
 looking at Pia enjoy her limited chances to chill on the couch
and at the sun come through the windows....

Life is a real trip.

Yesterday, I didn't have the energy to get in here
and be public on my gratitude.

Today, 
Carpe Diem.

Life is short.
So, while it last
I want to be present in my present.
Regardless.

Happy Thanksgiving.
