Last Friday I got a chance to sit and watch the rain for a while.  I parked myself at Devine Gelateria on 19th street in Midtown and ordered a pot of strong, black tea.  Have you ever done that?  Just allowed yourself a little spot of time to sit and think and do nothing?  I think this is how my creativity and my energy comes back up and I am able to see everything in focus.

Thoughts:  Midtown is beginning to have an energy again that dwindled with the recession.  The trees are pretty in winter.  Hot tea served in a cast iron pot is so nice.  Cold gelato on a rainy day is so good.  When I give myself "quiet time" then the work I do later is better quality.  I am a better mother when I get time alone.

 How about you?

Happy Rainy Monday!
