I'm feeling so happy with my life, even though there is the various bumps. Friday was a crazy day. Some guy tried to pick me up in Beverly Hills as I was walking around looking totally LA. I got carded for buying cigarettes (cloves)! Got a little business kick in the butt. And hung out with new friends.
There's a lot to do and I could easily get overwhelmed, but I'm feeling great. I go out in the world and see the people. I'm walking down the sidewalk at my neighborhood grocery store and in love with the world. In love with myself, who I have become and the world I experience. I look over at the car next to me on the 101 and I laugh with delight - the people inside were having a great time. I looked over at the car next to me at the stoplight - she was enjoying her convertible, music blasting. Over there, she's inspecting her lipstick. I see these faces, the people in cars and on the street and in an instant I know them. I see their life. As a piece of the puzzle. I'm very comfortable with myself and seeing their lives.
It's no different than seeing my own life. Creating my own life. Now, isn't it about time I raise the bar on the life? Or perhaps I can be content with myself for a bit or for at least moments during the day.
I love looking over at people in cars when I'm on the freeway. Luckily, there's so much traffic in LA, that there's plenty of time to do that. I do notice that what I have on the radio at the time becomes a sountrack to what I'm looking at. So, if I have some upbeat song on, the people in another car look like they are having the time of their life. But if I'm playing some deep classical music, it's soap opera time.
