Following a busy weekend of friends and dancing, food and beaching, I wanted July 4th to be a relaxing one. It was. I got back to my apartment and took a rare but necessary nap. I woke up again, mid-afternoon, and left only to visit the specialty food store so that I could purchase a few ingredients for this incredible salad (pictures to come). Then I read for a bit before packing a picnic to watch the Hudson River fireworks at Riverside Park with my roommates.
It was a magical evening. The kind of evening where you feel like you're exactly where you're supposed to be, and still you're impressed with your surroundings. Sure I have doubts, I hardly have anything figured out, and I'm struggling with the stresses of "adult" life, but I also have faith in the fact that I'm living the life that I want to live. And that is something to be forever thankful for. Wine spritzers, cheese, fireworks and all. God bless America, and the rest of the world too.

I had that feeling all weekend.. I just relaxed and laid by the pool and didn't stress about anything. But I didn't get to see any fireworks so I'm enjoying that picture of the NYC fireworks! :)
ahhh, that looks like heaven right now! i am currently sitting at my work desk, but that cheese plate and the sunset look far more appetizing :)
oh i sooo relate to this! i had the same feeling on a rooftop overlooking the charles in boston. it snuck up on me, and it made me feel like i was in the right place. :) glad to know you had that feeling too!
Rachel: Yay! You're very welcome ;)
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen): It is, go back in time with me?
Mackenzie: I'm so happy to hear that! Looking forward to meeting you, dear.
i love that feeling. it's so elusive, so when it does come, you just gotta soak it all in. and that cheese plate?!? i want!!!
holly: Exactly. The cheese plate is yours, all you have to do is... come visit.
