Each Autumn I become optimistic about life. Much more so than in the warmer months. I think walking has something to do with this feeling. I adore walking. And now that I live downtown, I can pretty much walk to wherever I like. I mean come on, The Metro pretty much sucks in Seattle. But just being able to walk in the slightly chilly morning air, alone with your thoughts, to me is some kind of magical.
A cool new restaurant finally opened up below me. Since moving to my downtown location, the restaurant on the ground level has changed many hands. But now a very fun funky Pizzaria moves in and the neighborhood has approved. The old mob hangout Vito's also re-opened with many assurances that no one will be shot (that's always good!) So my quirky little neighborhood continues to be surprising and vivacious!
Come to think of it, life can be that way at times as well
