Hello, my friends, hello...

I know it's been awhile, I apologize. In case you didn't know, I have had a big change in my life. I moved to the big city, Gotham, the Big Apple... New York City.

I can't say it was a dream of mine for my entire life. In fact, though I loved to watch movies made in New York, I never really thought of moving there... until I visited. After a few days into that visit, I knew I had to be in New York City. I loved the pace. I love the "energy". I felt focused and at home. A year and a half later, I was here. It's only been a few months, but I still love it.

It can be a hard place to live. It's unforgiving and if you aren't careful, it will beat you down. No mercy. But, if you fight back, it rewards you. Kind of like life in general, just intensified. I love it.

I love the subways. The diversity of people. They way the endless ear buds connected to endless ears make their owners move in such different ways. Without shame. Some dance. Some lip sync with abandon. All individuals.

I have never seen so many boots worn by all different types of women. And, it's amazing how a winter coat can become a status symbol.

Anything can happen, which is a big reason why I moved here in the first place.

Yes, there are assholes, just like anywhere else. But, surprisingly, people are nice. Store clerks remember you after a few visits, and actually in some ways became a new sort of friend that you miss if you don't see for awhile.

I just now feel as if my feet are starting to get under me. That I can actually make it. Time will tell.

I feel better than I have in years. I move more. I've already worn out my shoes that I bought 4 months ago.

Anyway, the moral here, if there is one, is go for it.

Whatever it is you want to do, do it. Experience it. Jump right in. Be open for life to tell you to make a change, and listen when it does.

There are no mistakes. You are better off taking the chance then staying safe... always.

Be yourself with no reservation. Take the steps as they come and keep your eyes on what you want.

You'll get there.

I feel like I am. Finally.

Music is Life,

Albert
