Walk it out.
New picture. So there.
Sometimes I go to New York and hear concerts that make me crazy and see movies that make me cry and my family is feisty and I ramble around. Sometimes I see a girl from high school and a boy from college at a bar on Avenue A, and then I see another girl who made my life a vague sort of misery ten years ago on TV. Buying a wedding gown. On Say Yes to the Dress.
Sometimes it’s raining and I feel things too much and my feet are cold inside my socks, and by the time Tom picks me up at South Station he says, “How you doing?” and I say, “I am really, really glad to be home.”
This week: Back. Updike’s Rabbit at Rest. Financing some new endeavors. Working out some old demons. 30-Day Shred started yesterday. Martha’s November issue. Taking my vitamins. Eating my fiber. Tom in Missouri. Boston Book Festival. Contemplating quilting. Poking (cautiously) around the edges of some holiday prep. Looking for inspiration everywhere. Outside my window. Inside my guts.

I love the way you wrote this. I know how you feel. I’m currently experiencing a mental breakdown of “I’m not good enough, what am I doing?” But if I’m honest, I feel that way A LOT. I feel too many things too much lately. But that’s life. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
P.S. I love that last photo, too. And I would love to take your photos… I can come to Boston, but travel fees apply. (BUT I bet even with travel fees, I’d probably be cheaper than a lot of people back east… just saying…). I am looking into going to New York in the next year–one of my very best friends lives there. Maybe then? Ha ha.

Welcome home! I’m sorry your trip to New York was not perfect, but I’m glad you’re happy to be back in Boston!
It sounds like you have quite a week ahead of you. Good luck!
