Merci Julie

I sometimes play that game, Who Would You Want to Play You in a Movie About your Life?

My answer: Julie Delpy. She is so incredibly talented, in so many ways. Writer, composer, actress, singer, and more recently mother. Golly.

I have her films "2 days in Paris" and "Before Sunset" on dvd and will often turn to them on a Sunday afternoon or when I'm feeling a bit unsure about life. They give me perspective. I love her poetic approach to life and the way she writes about relationships and day-to-day stuff.

I love our life

I re-discovered my 2009 to-do list.

Happily, I've achieved quite a few of these to-dos which is such a nice feeling. There are definitely more destinations to add to the list, and my work focus has changed slightly.

I've started meditating at home, doing more yoga and this week, I indulged in two glorious Chinese massage sessions. I'm feeling a bit calmer about life and work and equipped to handle the busyness of this time. I told myself I would enjoy this dry season.

Today at a cafe, I noticed an older couple near us, clearly locals. The lady said to her husband: I love our life. That made me smile.
