Today was a day for brainstorming, thinking of a thousand possibilities and dreaming elephant ocean universe big and doing the opposite of narrowing down.It was a day for a giant, sugary, whipping cream-capped mocha with equally sweet friends in a cozy coffee shop. It was a day for aimless wandering and having the time to stop and listen to an elderly violinist with cold fingers and a warm smile.
It was a day for long, meandering conversations and short, squirmy baby snuggles and gulps of crisp but not-too-cold winter air. For traffic lights and comfort food and slippers and piano music and smiles for and from strangers and thank-you prayers.
And as lame as it sounds, it was a day for staying home on a Friday night to sort my iTunes library and make sure everything has it's correct song title, artist, and album art. Because if that wasn't done first, I wouldn't have any fun going out tonight anyway.

You write so beautifully my friend :) Teach me your ways. Sounds like a lovely day.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who gets OCD about their iTunes library. Last night I sorted all my photos and felt this huge weight come off my shoulders.
aw garsh! thank you caitlin. :) i love reading your writing too.
haha, isn't it the BEST FEELING EVER?
mm you make a mocha sound extra enticing. I love hot drinks in cold weather.
what a great photo.
meeee too. especially mochas. mmm..
he was so cute! and there was another elderly man playing his violin at the opposite side of the square. they should've duelled.
I am so late to the party I am sure, but I just figured out (thanks to google) how to combine songs into the album they came from if it is like soandso featuring suchandsuch - and then those songs go out of the album...that drives me crazy!! But I finally looked it up last week and fixed my itunes library and did get a feeling of peace and satisfaction!
isn't it so nice when everything is right where it should be? even if it's just digitally... it feels fantastic.
Ah! I just saw that you did this post! And I did one basically the same. And now I'm worried you think I've copied you when really all that happened is - we both have awesomely similar minds.
hahaha, don't even worry about that! if you ever DID copy me, i would be flattered, not mad. :) in this case, i know you weren't "copying" and i liked your post and i think it's cool how like-minded we are!
