there can't be much wrong with a sunday afternoon spent baking these, drinking this, and listening to them.
yesterday afternoon my roommate called me out on being negative. she was right.
as of late, boston has become to me a drab place. friends and adventure and discovery and life have been replaced by to-do lists and deadlines and frantically grasping for the last ounces of energy to cross the finish line. i've been feeling like the 16-year-old version of myself during the spring season of track & field - desperately launching my body over the last few obstacles of the 300 meter hurdles, wondering why i ever volunteered to run this race in the first place. but always, in the end - even when i came in last as my legs are short and i am slow, even though i was usually beat down and exhausted - it was enough that i had finished and i was smiling.
this morning i decided i would put my school work aside and take a day. open my windows wide. bake some pumpkin doughnuts and drink good beer in the middle of the day. let go of the negativity, the doubts and the fear. at least for today.
75 days and counting. not that i'm counting. (but i am)
ps - i'm running a race! read about it here (especially if you're feeling generous!)...
