Keeping it in perspective

Yesterday someone shared this saying with me and it rang so true I wanted to share it with you.

"You can't always have the things you love, but you should always love the things you have."

For me it means that I can't have the city life I love but I certainly can love the life have with my family in our beautiful new house.

Saturday night Hubby and I headed to NYC for dinner with some good friends so I knew it was going to be a fun night. I started the evening by seeing this sign just as we got to the city and I just had to smile... I love that NYC attitude!

Don't Go Changing!

Some of you may have wondered how living in the burbs has changed me over the last two years.... today I received confirmation that two of my key traits are intact. 1. I have no sense of direction what so ever. Hubby who's been at my side for 20 years can give you plenty of stories to back that up. Let me share my morning drive. I was rushing from Stamford to Westport which is a distance of about twenty miles. About 8 minutes into the drive it was clear that the road I was on, I95, was badly congested and not showing any signs of improvement. So I said to myself I think I know another way home....let me give it a try. Guess what happened? After following my "internal compass "AND the car GPS I not only made no progress, I actually went the wrong way and ended up BACK in Stamford!!!!

When I lived in the city, one of my favorite places was the Union Square Farmer's market. In the midst of concrete and pollution,  it's an island of fresh homegrown, natural yummy stuff. I always walked away with no money left in my wallet but carrying beautiful lilac bouquets, fresh goat cheeses and fresh organic veggies. My new favorite Farmer's market is my garden in Westport. Instead of paying $10 for a small bouquet of lilac I now just walk to the back of my house and cut a couple of branches whenever I feel like it. Instead of paying a silly amount for organic lettuce, I ask my 6 year old to go to our vegetable garden to cut a few leaves for dinner.  Tomatoes, broccoli, radishes, raspberries, strawberries and melons are on there way....I can't wait! I have to say this is probably my favorite part about living in the burbs.
