1) Nature

Saturday.  A day for anything.  Discovering oneself.  Being active.  Today we tried a new restaurant.  Quiet, clean, food was okay.  But the best part was the sun coming in through the windows.  Afterwards, we went for a walk on a bike path.  We were covered by shady trees on both sides.  We walked for two hours.  The trees were breathing their cool mist on us.  Elegant!

4) Special Places

Home - what I like:

1. The Quietness
2. Spareness of furnishings
3. My family
4. My pets
5. The greenness outside
6. Every window, door open so that there is the barest of barriers between inside and outside
7. Everything I like to eat just steps away whenever I want it
8. Hardwood, polished, gleaming floors
9. A small cottage
10. The sound of cicadas and the wind through the trees.

5) Time Alone to explore the world

Just back from Boston.  My top ten list:

1. The Freedom Trail
2. Beacon Hill
3. Watching sail boats on the Charles River from the Esplanade
4. Marlborough Street in Back Bay
5. MIT Museum and walking through MIT's buildings
6. My room which had a magnficent view of the Charles River
7. Faneuil Hall
8. Winsor Dim Sum in Chinatown
9. Boston Public Library
10. Time to just wander all day, sit in the shade when you're tired and feel wonderful.
