No order...just random thoughts...
A new day, the start of a new month, in a new year and I'm just so grateful--so happy to be able to open my eyes and savor the beauty that surrounds me. Do you taste it when you get up and take that first recognize breath....and see the things familiar to you in that space at that time....do you realize it's just not another day...it's a brand new day for discovery of you and others and things. Say hello and say thanks to this day....I'm having my quiet time now drinking honey & lemon tea ... trying to figure out what to expound upon today.
I write notes on anything I can put my hands on...especially when a thought enters my mind....and it just so happens I was curious to know what I did this time last year...so I pulled out last year's daily dairy....and there was no entry....at all for this day...I thought it strange...but then I paged through the pages and read some entries for this month and SLAM! it hit me hard in the face...the break up with six degrees had already begun unbeknown to the reality me at the time but according to my notes I could see clearly now -- the signs of mistrust, jealousy and non communication of dialogue on issues. How could we sometimes be so blinded by love and not trust our natural instincts? Clarity breeds understanding....and...I lost on both counts....because in the end....familiarity breeded contempt...
Last night I arranged a 12 person dinner party for Saturday for my Cousin at one of the best restaurants here in paradise....Cafe Matisse...the ambience is subdued yet elegant for this two storey edifce filled with French and island art(it's actually an old house-with a courtyard so you know it was one of those rich aristocracts from the colonial days) but the service is impeccable....the place is just inudated with good looking men as man servants picked exclusively to wait on you...women flock the placed..and men too....with alterior motives... LOL...so you know it's going to be a treat...
Today and all this month I plan to start writing a page a day for my first book...procrastination has been my daily regiment and friend in this regard....so I decided to throw it out the door and get with it...I'm having a drink of water now...and this simple act reminds me to check the new "water" blog for his latest entries....it's a really kewl blog and all that youthfulness inspires a brotha...
Coretta Scott King died yesterday.... a tower of strength in spite of her trials and tribulations....and I most believe a piece of my good histronic friend "savvy101" died with her. I feel for him....but it's going to be alright....her legacy is and will forever be documented and her immortal soul will be forever young in the hearts and minds of centuries to come....
