Street Names NYC

 Just finished reading the book Street Names of New York by J. jelly-schapiro. interesting content but his sentence structures were convoluted. It's like he wanted to create as many meandering-side alley style sentences as his book covered.

Interesting links discovered for follow-up:

Life. Today.

 The more I think about and reflect upon my life, my past, my childhood, my past loves, the more I recognize what a life means/can mean.

It's just a series of events, strung together. 

There were (are) so many possibilities. Life would have been very different if I pursued acting no matter what. If I stayed with X, or Y, or continued on with Z. But I am with E (and grateful for the depth of growth that comes with it/this/him.)

If I had stayed in New York. 
If I let Paris go
--too risky

If I didn't move to Tucson.
But instead 
stayed in France
or moved to
...(where???)...

So many options.
So many choices.
It's like those "choose your ending/adventure" books...

You can't go back.
Only forward.
Only forward.
Only face the future.
Face the day.
Move on.
Accept 
and go forth 

Into
the 
DAY.

That's all we have - TODAY.

So, with that, I'll continue my morning reflections, finish the little coffee I have left. And get IN TO my DAY.
