Yesterday I skipped my trip to the health club and took a walk at lunchtime. It was 72ยบ in the sun, and I wanted to take in the flowers and leaves and fountains again while I still can. So I walked up Michigan Avenue and then cut through Millennium Park on the way back.
I dearly love this city.
It's pretty over the holidays, with snow and ice on the branches and lots of lights and happy people carrying shopping bags. I look forward to that. But this is good, too, and it won't be with us much longer.
By the way, I realize I haven't seen Puppet Bike once this year! Damn!
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
i would love to see your City...maybe one day I can come for a visit!!
ReplyDeleteChicago is on my Bucket List!
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived close enough to the city to just roam around in it. I used to love to go down there on the weekends and roam around, when the Metra was $5 for a weekend pass, but I haven't for a while!
ReplyDeleteLove the Bean!!
