I'm sitting in a house on top of a hill that overlooks all of Los Angeles. Millions of lights glisten and I think of all the windows of opportunity untapped. What can I say, I'm a dreamer. This mini villa is owned by a guy from my part of the country and my friend cares for it when he is out of town. I have whipped up some organic tomato soup with brown rice and some canned green beans. Comfort food with a healthy edge. The calm before the eating storm on Turkey day. I could not be happier luxuriating with friends during the little down time that I have during this holiday season. These pockets of time are like mini vacay's. I wonder what Christmas will hold. I have lived a life thus far where I don't think that far ahead. Maybe I should start.
In the meantime, I am nestled with Academy screeners which are all the latest movies in the theaters right now. Gosh I'm saving a lot of dough. I will spend this Thanksgiving with friends and superheroes (literally) but you wouldn't believe me if I told you so I'll just keep it to myself. I would fore go all of it if I could blink and fly east to be with the family but Donald Trump I am not, so I will stay planted here amongst the palm trees and the ocean breeze.
Making new friends when you are older is like getting a big bouquet of flowers just because. It is such a pleasant surprise. I have two long running friendships in LA, we have been through everything, up and down and we made it.... still standing. One of them said to me, "you have you're posse". It's true I do. Finally. And there is always room for more, they just have to pass the test.
