Amy and I took the dogs on a walk in Central Park because the weather was perfect. I love when I don't have to wear my thick coat! We grabbed ice drinks (something we haven't had in a while) and hung out in the sun shine all day long. It was the best.
Reese is my favorite dog, and if you follow me on social media you probably know that...We share a special bond because we have spent quality time together outside of work. He is my coworker's dog, and if I am lucky, I get to watch Reese when his mom is out of town. I really do just need to get a dog of my own, but I am not sure if I am ready for that kind of commitment. I am still learning how to take care of myself...LOL
I seriously can not believe how warm it has been this week. I wanted to ditch work today and play outside. Although we have experienced a fairly mild winter, the signs of spring are always exciting. People are just happier when the sun is shinning! I am hoping the weather stays nice all weekend, and yes I am very much looking forward to the weekend.
New York is an exhausting and challenging place to live. It tests my work ethic and my patience every single day. Dealing with the crowds of people, walking from place to place, carrying groceries home every week, taking public transportation everywhere is not an easy thing. No wonder New Yorkers have a reputation for being rude, it's because the New York lifestyle puts everyone in a bad mood! Haha people literally run out of patience, and now I understand.
So why do I live here? Because it's unqiue and having this opportunity is something I always imagined it about but I never thought would actually happen. Every time work gets hard or I get so fed up with the city, I remind myself that this is the life I want. I would rather have a crazy/exciting/exhausting/busy/frustrating lifestyle, than feeling unfulfilled and bored. New York takes so much from people but it offers so much in return. It may not be the most practical place to live, but it is the best place to live!!
