The Best of 2009: Day #2 – Restaurant Moment

I have a tendency to tackle my posts in stages (as well as think too much, be hard on myself, and get confused in my brain), as I still work on training myself to take time to make time for focused writing sessions. With my Posterous account I’ll submit via gmail, so I ready the draft in the morning, prep the title in the subject heading, and then will rattle off an outline in the form of a topical stream of consciousness. The intent being to return to it later in the day when I have a momentary break and flesh out the thoughts and ideas. But this stream I enjoy just as it is…

Candle light, Ned, the pie maker projected on the wall, her foot hooked around my ankle. Beautiful eyes gazing into me. Sheepish smiles, exhaustion from travel and having just gotten over the flu. Heat lamp, patio, cab ride, holding hands, feeling warm, lip bites, my heart feeling full, wanting to hold onto the moment forever. Definitely in love with this girl…

This particular evening was during this year’s best trip to San Francisco. My lady took me on our first date to Foreign Cinema, and… yeah.

I’m very thankful for this best of blog challenge, as it not only provides me means of pushing through my blogging hang ups, but affords me time to reflect on some awesomely wonderful moments.

It’s been a most peculiar, frustrating, heart breaking, amazing, challenging, beautiful, redeeming, and resolute year. I guess that means I’m living.
