attitude adjustment

Ended feeling like a total of schlub last week. Squishy and unhappy. Then I had a great weekend with 2 bike rides with friends and a food adventure with Cheryl to Le Mandingue in West Philly. 

1.5 Lingual

My Spanish studies paid off a little just now!!  I answered a call from a woman who needed help with something home related, but she only spoke Spanish.  I was able to (mostly) redirect her to the correct spot, or at least tell her that she'd called the wrong number by mistake.  She also helped me out a bit by speaking slowly and clearly once I'd gotten out, "No hablo bien español."

New Format

As the obvious increase in mean posting time indicates, I'm not a regular blogger anymore.  My communication habits, responsibilities and time constraints have evolved to the degree that this just isn't a part of my life anymore.  I do really like the way that I can reference the blog in the way I would a journal though.  Even though the blog itself is public, the forum feels more private than not--gotta look pretty hard on the internet to find it.

In any case, I'm going to try something different for a few weeks to see if it sticks--one sentence journaling.  The plan is to write one or two sentences about something that I'm thinking.  My plan is to try to frame the day, or at least something relevant about the day, with the text. I might try to add in photos where it's easily available, but my goal is not to get hung up on formatting or content so much as to get back in the groove with things.

頑張ります!!
