thank you, nyc

Nov 12, 2007 | Life in Progress

(ama, on maya’s rooftop. what a view.)

thank you, nyc, for your craziness and for your permission to be crazy and do funny booty dances all over your living rooms and streets. thank you, too, for your color and noises and lights, and especially for your autumn. thank you for the best chocolate chip cookies i have ever had. and for your using the exact amount of money (to the penny) that i came with, nothing less, nothing more. thank you for your endless streets where people watching is nothing less than perfect. but thank you most of all for hosting me and my friends to chats, silliness, 2am dance parties in one of your living rooms, a few tears, and hand holding and loving hugs and understanding glances. i am home now, falling back into my life after a much needed break. i’m glad to be home, where i feel re-energized about my life and my path and my everyday routine. i was feeling some heaviness before, even about all the blessings, but now i feel lighter, ready to tackle my life with passion and perspective (i love how traveling does this). thank you, again. i so needed it.

if you’d like, travel over the girls’ pages to see more fun.

some favorites (more photos here)…..

    Lucky girl! What a treat. NYC is wonderful but I’m sure it was the company that really made it for you. So glad to hear you returned refreshed.
    I love the mommy and baby pic. Too cute! The Perry St one is really good. Love the angle.

    Loved what you had to say about perspective. Sounds so fun–I need to connect with my girlfriends again. Can’t wait to get my Cloth etc. magazine and read your article!

    I meant to type Kelly Rae, so please forgive the typo. I suppose it’s been a long day. 🙂

    Kelly, thanks for sharing these photos. I love New York City. I lived there for a bit during an internship a few years ago and hope to plan a trip back there sometime next year. Perhaps I will go in the fall.

    All the best,

    Katie

    Can’t believe you were so close (3hrs) and I didn’t get to meet you. Well I believe it but it bums me out a bit:)

    Glad you had a wild time and are now home happily.

    i am happy that you experience and appreciate the blessings in travel, in friendship, in changes to your usual routine … and i am grateful that your usual routine includes posting words and images (photos and paintings) for others to learn from and enjoy.
