Getting the perspective of another can help drive your ambition, clear your confusion or help change your mind. When coming from a trusted friend, the gift is priceless. It is fragile if not founded on purpose.
Having two East Coasters, John and Andrew, with us for several days has been so good. There is a grounded perspective to life that comes from those roots. There is also a goodness.............
We have had the best time with both staying in our apartment., as both were given a real life look at the lives we lead and the work it takes to keep us here. The lure of the lifestyle is astounding and addicting if you like to just "chill." For me, the pace is too slow.
My friend John left late last night, catching a red eye flight home. He's hoping to plan his next visit soon. I've never met anyone like him......
Andrew leaves us on Wednesday and we will miss him dearly. Tonight, as a last hurrah, I took Logan, a friend, and Andrew to "In and Out" burger, a place where the stars go:) He goes with the flow, whether he's eating dinner on a styrofoam cooler, sleeping sideways on the sofa, using a crappy bike to get around, or packing his suitcase without lighting. Never complained, just immersed himself in our world. And, put up with all my picture taking:D
It's easy to look at someone else's life and want what another has, but the truth is, you may not want to do what it takes to get where he/she is. That life looks and sounds glamorous but doing what it takes to get there or stay there, may be beyond your capabilities.
The important thing is to act on the little mustard seed of faith you have; don't think about what you are lacking. Take the ability or talent you've been given, and "invest" it. Use it.
In July, I stepped into something at is moving me into a whole new level.
and in August, I believe the magic will reveal itself..... taking what I have and making it multiply.
Goodnight.
