My first stop was the Lincoln Center Barnes and Noble where much to my dismay I discovered that they did not have comfy chairs placed in odd corners of the bookstore as does my Barnes and Noble at home. I grabbed the first book in the Wild Magic series and read about 30 pages until I felt that I was getting in the way of the people browsing the self-help section.
I headed to Starbucks where I used one of my gift cards to purchase a Vanilla Latte and a mozzarella and tomato sandwich. It was quite divine. I ate it in Central Park on a bench. The weather was nice, not too cold for a December day.
I then headed to a nearby Duane Reade where I ravaged all of the ELLE magazines to ensure that the Lady GaGa edition was in front of the Britney Spears version. I also purchased one for myself. I also searched for dice and clay in order to complete some Christmas presents I made. Alas, this Duane Reade did not have either.
I continued my journey to both CVS and Walgreens. I was lucky at Walgreens where I purchased a set of dice!
Returning home, I watched Pride and Prejudice (Oh, Mr. Darcy!) and then went to a Holiday/End of the semester party for the Student Culinary Council. And now here I am, preparing to attempt some Yoga then going to watch "How I Met Your Mother' with Maryanne.
I'm not so sure why I believe this day to be "brilliant" but I quite enjoyed it and recently I have begun a mantra type saying "Today is going to be good." At the beginning of the day I get it in my head that the day is going to be great, and it is. Works like a charm, and it's a lovely way to look at life.
Warmest Wishes,
Alice Shea
