Periodically, I ask myself the following question: If I could do anything in the world right now--anything physically possible--what would I do? Usually my desires are reasonable enough: lying on a warm beach, having drinks with friends, going to Disneyland, getting a slew of luxurious spa treatments, taking a trip to Italy, or something as refreshingly simple as going out for ice cream.
Sometimes it's writing and getting paid for it. Ahh, sounds nice.
A few mornings back I was driving to work from an early appointment in west L.A. My newly acquired CCR CD was blasting, sunshine was streaming down through the sunroof, and despite the heavy rush hour traffic, L.A. glittered all around me with possibilities. The mountains looked clear. My window was down and the surprisingly warm November air tingled my senses. The day was young, and it suddenly occurred to me that there was no place I would rather be.
Really? Yes. I even surprised myself.
that sounds so nice!!
