So here I am in L.A. I am liking it for the most part, there are alot of cool places, things to do, and warmer weather. I am although having a very difficult time with the Christmas season here. I miss the "sight" of snow. I miss Christmas lights being even more beautiful because it's the only thing out side that is bright and cheery. Christmas in Detroit is so beautiful because its a time where a city so broken, dirty and struggling can still be beautiful and people are happy. The dirty streets are finally clean looking because white snow has covered up the mess. It's very hard not being there right now, especially because thats where family is. BUT I do have Joel my love, my family, and we have a charming place and a beautiful tree. I keep attempting to make the house smell like Christmas with an abundance of candles and baking. I also like that I am not crying every time i step outside because i feel like my bones are frozen and getting snow in my shoes. I am excited to start new traditions with Joel. I need to enjoy every moment, and refrain from any unnecessary emotional outbursts due to this change.
Which brings me to a new topic. Relaxing. Being Chill. Not letting all of this extreme change get the best of my emotional well being. I need to think of things that will make me feel better. I had these things in MI, places to go ect, but now i need them here. Some may be:
Candles lit
tea
baking
looking at a magazine
the mix of music, which i feel that I cant seem to find.
looking at books (I need to find a library)
shopping... (but sometimes alone isnt so fun- makes me miss my mom even more)
I would love to get into making jewelry but its an expensive hobby to start.
Anyway thats all for today. I need to go pass out coupons for my salon.... This activity will never be on the list above FYI. But i need clients. :(
