Today I'm gonna see some good friends and old co-workers from my last job in Phila, Red Tettemer. I was thinking how it's nice they get to escape all the snow for the weekend and enjoy the LA weather...even though it's a bit cooler this weekend (sunny, low 60s) i'm sure it feels balmy to them. And it brought me back to this same week in January 2009 when i came out here for a work trip. I was staying in Santa Monica and I remember walking out along the pier and it hit me--I thought, I love it here, why couldn't I just pick up and move?! And that began my quest to come west and start my own journey with me, myself and I.
It's crazy to think how much has changed since that January in 2009. In January 2010, this time last year I was watching my mom fight for her life while pretty much living out of the Hospital of University of Pennsylvania. Snow storm after snow storm, the winter I thought I escaped by moving to LA. And now this January--finally feeling like my feet have firmly landed on the ground here in LA...after the ups and downs of the last year, I know I'm here for the right reasons and that makes me very happy.
So as I look out upon this year, I wonder what I'll be reflecting on next January. One will never know...but I'm confident it's going to be a year filled with more happiness, more smiles and hopefully some fun adventures along the way.
