I See, Said the Blind Man

Every morning I awake to the same thing. No, not my alarm, the sounds of the city. Have you ever woken up to church bells or sirens? How about both at the same time? I find it comforting and ironic in a way.

Lately, (randomly) I have been going for walks. I live right on that "line" in Worcester, and I have been told numerous times not to walk alone. I figure in the middle of the day if a person goes out of his or her way to steal my $5 and CVS card, they need it more than I do. 

On my walks, I have discovered that people in the city LOVE cats. I think cats are nice, but let's not go crazy. I see cats in the street, on porches, under cars, and even a few staring at me from bedroom windows. I guess I am more of a dog lady.

I love walking by the school when the kids are on recess. There is something about children laughing that makes me miss "play" time. I have play time too when I am surfing the Internet, drinking good wine, or watching the Price Is Right, but playing tag and having no worries takes the cake. 

Fall is my favorite season and watching the leaves change colors makes me smile. Unfortunately, this wonderful season does not last long and soon winter winds will be my new wake-up call. I encourage you to enjoy the weather while you can, take a walk, and really look and listen to your surroundings. You never know what you may see, hear, or even discover.
