Turn on the old Victrola

Jan 08, 2012 08:29

Since barlow_girl is away at our church's women's retreat this weekend, I've taken the bus in for work and worship this morning. And since being on Sunday bus schedules means a choice between being early or late, and since I chose early, my trip includes a rare trip to my old haunt, Victrola Coffee and Art. I probably wrote more LJ entries here than any other ( Read more... )

home, rest, life

Where did you guys move to?

I think we're not horribly far from y'all-we're at 77th and 15th. Loving the neighborhood so far

Not at all- 77th and 25th :) Well, 7707 precisely. Come by sometime!! :) We walk around the neighborhood a lot, so hopefully we'll see you! We just went to Hudson's last night! Yay! Welcome to the neighborhood! :)

In our hunt, we actually looked at one place that was even closer, I think (it adjoined the park across from your place), but it had a layout that was too funky for us to embrace (though there was one upstairs room I adored). We are slowly settling in, but at least we're completely out of the old place, and I call that a victory.

We haven't yet been to Hudson! Recommended?

This reverberates so strongly for me...your last paragraph leaves me wondering why I long to 'go back' so frequently in my own circumstances. I spend a lot of time reflecting upon the past, wishing that I could change it...

What I'll take with me is your last line. There's a place, a GOOD place, for renewal and redemption. Those are 2 things I'll seek and prize this year.

Good entry. I felt like I'd been abandoned on LJ!

It seems pretty "ghosty" here, but I'd definitely like to be more regular on LJ (and writing more generally) in the year to come. Good to know I'm not alone!

I've been writing but most of my entries are either too angry or too sad to post for general viewing. So I've marked them for my eyes only. Eh, it's a process. But I can feel a shift. I can feel the need to write more and to share what I've written. Do you think it's with the onset of a new year that we tend to feel this way? Maybe so. Glad to 'read' you again. Happy new year!

For me, the new year, arbitrary as it is, is definitely a big factor. Happy new year!
