I've never been a proponent of change and yet ironically enough, autumn, the quintessence of transition, is my favorite season. While I may whine and complain about Ithaca (yes, too much I know), I do love fall here and being engulfed in color--the reds, oranges, yellows, all of it.
A friend of mine expressed her concerns over losing touch with people. Communication between friends sometimes wanes over time because life just happens. I used to lapse into these horrible bouts of depression because I missed people and my life when things seemed simpler. I'd smile, but I was really a facade of what I was--happy. I would live in a yesterday. Nothing could compare to Florida (and perhaps nothing ever will to me), but the truth is, you (and myself as well) have to keep moving forward. Let the proverbial tide carry you to shore and when it gets really tough just hold on because tomorrow is in the palm of your hand. Maybe months and years will go by and saying "hello" after the silence will seem strange, but that's alright. I'll still be here.
I really like this
cover of "Hey Jude." I tend to listen to a lot of Beatles (more notably "Hey Jude) when I'm feeling nostalgic for Jeanne's pre-Ithaca era. I'm actually not very fond of the "na nas" at the end of the song, but the melody leading up to the end is my favorite.
