Just like music...

One note, one beat and a lyric can change my entire mood.  There is no pill that has ever done that for me in my life.

My Life

I am really committing to making time to sit down and write.  Finally done a super long work week.  I am finding that hard work and dedication are what keeps me semi-sane.  Idle time isn't very healthy for me as I know from past life experience.  So I get up and I go to work.

It's funny how you can start to learn a new city by serving everyone donuts and coffee.  Now I'm the general manager but I love simply waiting on the same people every morning.  I know their names, where they have to go each day, because everyone is in a huge hurry to get to where they have to go. Smiling faces, angry glares, numerous weirdos make up my daily work life.  I walk to the store and I know how almost everyone of these faces drinks their coffee.  I even know if they are lactose intolerant, because they request almond milk. I know who doesn't eat pork, because they order turkey sausage.  It's crazy, but on most days that knowledge is a common thread.  The city doesn't start until I unlock the doors of the store with brewing pots of hot coffee.  Everyone knows me, but no one knows me..the ultimate paradox.

New life in Harrisburg...
