So, today when I was walking home from the gym, some random thoughts hit me—mostly because there are several clover patches on my walk from the gym entrance to my car at the law school parking lot.
There are some things I hope I never grow out of. I hope that I always look for four-leaf clovers every time I see a cloverpatch. I hope I continue trying to catch snowflakes on my tongue when it snows (and no one is looking). I also hope that I will still get a thrill out of crunching leaves under my feet when walking down the sidewalk in late fall.
I guess part of this reflection is knowing that in less than 6 months I'm going to be living life at 100mph. Between being a first year associate at Big Law NYC and living long distance from my hubby, I'll have to make a concerted effort to take notice of these little things. I think about my friends in law school and think how fast their lives whirl past them too. I want them to take a deep breath and know that it's okay to go for a nice walk in the park. Their productivity will probably even increase (and vitamin D is important!).
Anyway, brief post because E and I have things to celebrate tonight. But more on that later.
