Okay, better now.

This morning was so grey and rainy. Makes the coffee shop feel real cozy though, i like that.

(sidenote of possible interest to other word-nerds like me:)
Did you know that you can spell the word grey, correctly, with either an "a" or an "e"...isn't that cool? i usually spell it with the "e" becuase it looks more, well, grey.

Please excuse my rambling- i have been working for too many days in a row and find myself in a slightly delirious state. My work is incredible though, i get to meet so many different people with such a wide range of stories and life experience...i come here, make lattes, and learn.
It is really, very beautiful.
The other day it occurred to me that i should be recording these episodes and interactions and sharing them with others. Maybe a book full of them...who knows? It is one thing that continues to amaze me every day of my life- how incredibly complex and beautiful people are. And how you never know someone's story until you ask, and they let you in.
We are so wonderfully intricate and fragile and strong.

Missing loved ones near and far, feeling rather inbetween today. But, i will be headed to Santa Cruz to see my dear, sweet Natalie- which i am very thankful for.

this is kind of one of those blogs that aren't really about anything- and for that i apologize.
blame it on the lack of sleep.

remember that one time, i told you that people may seem one way, but when you hang out with them one on one they may seem like a totally different person. what you said above, is really what i was trying to articulate at that paticular moment in time. once you peel away those protective layers, and learn about who people really are, they seem to be someone totally different. amazing how people work. individuality really is a beautiful thing. keep up the blogs, cause writing is an amazing form of expression. ive been trying to keep a commonplace book of thoughts, and pictures, and drawings of things i encounter in life, and its kinda working...but yeah. gray is more the color, and grey is the feeling/abstract thing. so ive been told, or chose to believe. haha. go gra/ey!
