Serenity Now!

Serenity Now! Was a favorite episode of Seifield. (Then again, every episode is a favorite... and yep, the setting is NYC!) Frank Castanza was suppose to say "senerity now" to keep his blood pressure down... but he would yell it all stressed out. In my attempt to find serenity in writing, I had shared with David my comments about New York and the stress of it all. Of course, he, as a true New Yorker, took great offense to my comments that were anti-New York. Our conversation quickly turned into an arguement. Him defending his city and my attempt to explain that I would rather be left alone in the woods then exposed to New York City. Our tones escalated in attempting to prove our points and convince each other to accept our points of view. I stormed out and haven't seen him since. All in the name of finding serenity. Ha ha
However, I have enjoyed being snuggled in bed and reading.. something I haven't done in a long time.... I'm enjoying slowing down and pausing so peace and tranquility can catch up to me.
I did Polates for the past couple days.
By the way, I do have a love/hate relationship with New York. I love going there and I love leaving there. It's not all bad. I just feel smoothered by the chaos if I'm in it for too long. And David, loves the woods too. Silly why we argue. He moved to PA for the same reason I live here; we love the rolling hills to ride it.
I was also thinking more about the Frost poem. How the owner of the woods lives in the village. The owner too likes the hustle and bustle of the city and didn't even bother to build on his wooded property with a lake. Different strokes for different folks.

Peace be with us all, whether city folk or country folk.
