Life, food, events, and community in Albuquerque, NM

I was reading Adelita's blog about exploring new places to visit in Albuquerque. with her daughter. Her excitement and passion was evident. I could see through her writing how she found joy in her summer of exploration and her daughter will store this in her heart forever. It'll come back to her and give her moments of love and pleasure. I find joy in art and photography. I love to take some random items and make something out of them. I also find joy in reading - I'm one of those people who can stay up and real all night if I like the book. I love the libraries here. I love the Albuquerque Museum.
Where do you find your joy?

The gray dawn, the Times crossword puzzle and a cup of good strong coffee. That's where I like to start.

Excellent - I agree - except for the crossword puzzle - and I just discovered a coconut creamer for coffee - a little goes a long way..

Going out for a drink and randomly coming across a live band that becomes a new favorite.

When I feed my friends or play in the dirt or watch the birds while lolling in my backyard porch swing and...those early mornings or late evenings when it's cool, the roads are empty, my hair gets all tangled in the breeze and I feel as though I could just keep driving to parts unknown...

when i create a new sausage and someone else can enjoy it, when i drink some good beers by the grill w/ some friends, when i look into the eyes of my dogs and we both get it, when i meet a new artist/business person/friend, the sound of the water running in the ditch...

I find mine at around 3:45 each weekday afternoon, when my kids get home from 1st and 2nd grade.....and start to teach me about life through their eyes.....

walking through the bosque any time of year, conversing with my kids, cooking for family and friends, reading a good book, writing and losing track of the outside world in the process...

being in the moment
