It was such a beautiful weekend.  Not just the weather, but also the fact that the super busy weekends of summer have drawn to a close.  I’ve stayed busy the last two weekends, but have really appreciated not having a lot of time dedicated to stuff I have to do, and rather just spend time doing things that come up.  This morning I went to the MN Zen Center for an introductory meditation course and afterwards met up with SPICY TUNA for lunch.  After lunch we spent a lot of time walking around Uptown going to a lot of the different stores which was really enjoyable.  I always have a great time goofing off with SPICY TUNA and hanging out.  Plus, you know she’s gotta be awesome because she lets me call her SPICY TUNA.  I also got to bike around the lakes and meet up with my cousin and his girlfriend for dinner.  I was thinking today about how I finally feel like I’ve learned to live.  How to be happy and fulfilled in my personal life and just enjoy things.  It’s really great.  Hopefully I can figure out how to transfer that over to my professional life at some point.  I’m not looking forward to the start of another week tomorrow, but at least on Friday I’m headed to NYC to hang out for over a week.  Hopefully this week is bearable at work…. after last week I don’t have a lot of faith it’s going to be.  Wish me luck!
