a few things that i have discovered.

1. i think i am growing up because the top of my belly button piercing fell out and therefore i had to take my belly ring out. after i looked in the mirror at my now bare stomach after 4 years of having some bling showing, i kinda of liked it. does this mean i am moving into a new grown up phase of my life?!

2. i had a craving for ice cream last night and instead of acting upon this tasty delight, i decided to venture to the gym at 9pm and work out. luckily my ice cream cravings went away and i was able to enjoy a car ride, full of endorphins, with windows down, and music blasting. zero calories!

3. everyday on my way to work, i cut through mass general hospital (like many other commuters) to get to the hotel i work at. i normally breeze through the hospital, coffee in hand and earphones in my head; however, yesterday i stopped for a moment and looked around. i saw a man and woman looking anxious by the vending machines, two doctors talking about a medical emergency in their bright green scrubs, and a very old man in a stretcher getting wheeled out of an ambulance. then i scooted about 100 feet and walked into my hotel with posh people and successful businessmen.

i never seem to think about the devastation that is happening just right next door to me when i am healthy and faxing papers all day long. that little 2 minute cut through makes me appreciate life.
