today was just beautiful.
I walked the Aids walk in hartford, a trail that wrapped around a resevoiur that could have been cut and pasted right from beverly, it reminded me of wenham lake. The colors couldnt be described, and as our layers began to shed both externally and mentally, i think i really enjoyed walking with the wonderful group of people i call my family. Spectrum is a wonderful group of people.
there was a point in the trail where the road turned in, and the water continued in a more vast, open form. I ran to the dirt and rock edge, and begged my group members to snap a picture. It was so beatiful, and it looked exsactly like wenham lake. Only with no cars or roads to be seen. but the odd thing is, for once I didnt want to be anywhere else but where i was at that very moment. Even as it reminded me of back home, i didnt long for it. Moments like that could not possibly be spent thinking of another place, especially with how wonderful of a cause in which we were walking, and the amazing scene we were placed in for this journey. I loved walking along the reseviour this morning. It made me feel good about myself in more ways that one.
The AIDS walk hartford made 22 grand towards the cause. That made me want to cry.
on a more shallow note....
i got my hair cut and styled, and for the first time in many many months i can toss my head and look like i am in a commercial for loreal. I really needed to do something nice for myself. This was it. I got a starbucks too.... shh its a secret.
after the walk we went to the diner, and although the food made me sick, i really felt comfortable around these people. This is why i came back to hartford.
and
I just LOVE this season......
