The Need to Slow Down

I have noticed that one of my main shortcomings is failure to slow down. I tend to forget to relax, or fail to cherish the moment however insignificant it might seem...

Recently, after making an effort, I realized how much can be said for taking a walk in the city just for the sake of a walk, watching people pass me by, window shopping, stopping at a random coffee shop. I used to run everywhere, overbook, over plan... and I still do - and, to be completely honest, enjoy it thoroughly. At the same time, once in a while, I take pleasure of being a couch potato with a book (and lately my beloved New Yorker) or debating politics with my roommate.

I hope this blog will help me to appreciate a quiet moment (if I choose to share it with you, my cute little laptop) and potentially keep track of more memorable social gatherings, the ones I am able to recall and account for.

Good night.
