Life Moments

Last week I had a friend staying with me from out of town. During her time in the city she remarked how in a city as populous and diverse as NYC we are fortunate to bear witness to other people's special "life moments" just as we are going about our routine day. Well tonight on my way back from my run I witnessed an orgy of life moments. Well not quite that vulgar; it was actually quite moving. With the beautiful backdrop of the Brooklyn Public Library and Grand Army Plaza, a fabulous swing band performed a live concert and spectators danced, laughed and applauded. Seriously it was too cute for words...kids dancing and twirling with their dads (and moms, but aren't dad's cuter with their little ones?), serious dancers milking the spotlight, I even saw a couple playing chess in a corner holding hands under the table. Life moments!

Now my run in itself was also a life moment. After I dragged my feet getting out the door the fresh air and clear skies definitely made me happy to be outside. When it comes to me and exercise, music is key - which may be why I didn't enjoy yesterday's bike ride so much. I started today's run with The Killers, Are We Human followed by MGMT, Time to Pretend then Frou Frou, Let Go...by the time Britney Spears, I Wanna Go came on I was fist-pumping my way down Prospect Park West. Literally.

I'm so glad I went for that little run. Hopefully I will remember this moment next time I am cursing this project!
