The Day Before Yesterday I was....

...Standing in the grandstands, somewhere between Orange and Highland; watching the Santa Claus Parade. *smile* Together as one, the crowd stands cheering, laughing, singing as the moment of good ole Saint Nick is soon to arrive. Mounds of tinsel shine in the warm Californian sun. Lights twinkle, people sing. Strangers are kind to one another. The band plays on. A man stands behind me, leans forward and asks me if I am having a good time. I *smile* and respond "why yes, of course". I turn around to the man with the very sexy voice and realize that I am talking to, none other than Lenny Kravitz himself. I *pause*, smile and yes I have to admit,I was a little (ok ok..Not just a "little") star struck...But only for a moment . A feeling of calm, a coolness comes over me and I decide to just think of him as "just a guy".... who happens to be watching the Santa Claus parade. We delve into a 15 minute conversation and I fall deeper "inlike" with this superstar.... This man whose voice has been a constant reminder of some of the most tender moments in my life. *wink* I have admired him for years. For his music, his style,h is unique way of expression. My friend Chelsey turns around, most likely feeling a little lost. I watch as she scans the crowd. Finally she spots me. LOL. I could see her face as the she recognizes who I am talking too. She starts jumping up and down, not unlike the many children that surrounded her. Haha Not at all star struck...uh huh..LOL....(It was Chels first trip to L.A go figure!!) It was a classic moment. A happy moment.*smile*

Grrr..."Don't Know" Mode

I don't know if I "always" try to do my best, or make the best decisions. I would like to think that I do but sometimes I have come up short in the past. Who hasn't? Or maybe it's not that I have come up short, but that I have restricted myself from trying my hardest or thinking things through... Hmm ... I don't know. But what I do know, is that we all have all the necessary tools to make work whatever it is that we "want" to work. Whether it be in a relationship, friendship, or career choice. You can always get what you want. (within reason) Maybe I have not found the right person yet, or the right job, or location to inspire me enough. smile* "Do what we do" ....Right?
