daily livin

It was so sunny today, so cerulean blue. It makes such a real difference, with the clearness making me more cheery. And I sipped my coffee with coconut creamer, and delicious-nessed down a Innkeeper brand english muffin. Oh my goodness they are so yummy. Very plump raisins, and not the terrible fork-split kind,( Thomas brand...agh i hate how they DON"T splint). I have been slathering on peanut butter and strawberry preserves. and I have starting taking a new way in the hospital, a sort of back way that feels so much faster, although i am not sure it is. and i like knowing a back way, it makes me feel part of the city. and what a dear city Portland is, especially at night. as we drove across the bridge to get to small group tonight, the lights always look so magical. the neon Made In Oregon sign with the deer is so essential, I feel sick at the thought that it might change or go away. and i realized as we crossed the bridge coming home, OHSU looked sort of magical way up on the hill, with the skybridges and the Children's hospital. the best is getting to know our local upscale grocery store cashiers, who seem so happy working at the most expensive but oh so beautiful grocery store ever. they kind of nod now, like they recognize us, and I know the one who does crack a smile at my inane conversation, and the one who doesn't. oh I just like feeling a part of this city.
