I was on a train yesterday at 8:00 pm. And I was thinking about the previous 24 hours and all that I got accomplished.
In 24 hours:
I had started AND FINISHED editing a video for my family about my summer vacation.
I slept 4 hours.
Woke up at 6:30 am.
Went to the bottom of Manhattan to begin filming a documentary about my friend who has a fascinating and inspiring story.
WORKED OUT HARD 45 minutes.
Had a photo shoot where I had charcoal and water splashed over me.
Got on a train to Brewster New York.
Caught up with my best friend from high school and got to see her beautiful house.
AND had a home cooked meal prepared for me! (It was amazing.)
That brought me full circle to being on the train back to New York City at 8pm. I arrived back to my apartment around 9 pm, ordered sushi, and just lounged on my couch for a bit before I retired to bed early... in my world.
I feel so grateful for making such great use of my time. I don't get the opportunity to do this always. As a matter of fact, the previous 24 hours to this story were great also.
On Monday I shot some extra scenes for the music video I have been working the past two months. And I caught up with another great friend (the star of the video) who ASKED ME TO BE HER MAN OF HONOR at her wedding!
Colleen, I am so honored that you have asked me to be such an important part of your special celebration. You and I have gone through a lot together. I'll never forget your words to me when I was learning some of the hardest lessons:
"In the depths of winter, I found there was in me and invincible summer."
To anyone reading out there, taking precious time out of your day... which sometimes can feel so brief.... as if there are not enough hours, minutes, even seconds encompassed within one: There is "an invincible summer" within all of us. It is not easy to find. It is not a destination place. But it is certainly a place worth searching for.
