Thursday Blues - Entry 2 


I recognized all the shades of blue that seemed to overlap

New York Times - Entry 9

Suzy Dotson New York Times - Entry 9 Ahh, the New York Times game app -- what a wonderful way to waste time. But in all seriousness, I have fallen in love with this app. It is such a great way to stretch my mind, make me think outside the box, and feel productive all at the same time.

I could be dropped off at a deserted island and be perfectly content.  Being able to be comfortable being alone is an important lesson to learn. At the end of the day, that is the only guarantee. Friends come and go, partners leave, and families pass away. As sad and gruesome as that is, it's the truth. So might as well be comfortable with yourself now, because you'll be with yourself for the rest of time.  I also think being alone sparks creativity. I used to think I needed to be overly stimulated by media, friends, or even strangers in order to think of a creative idea or learn something new. But sometimes my most creative or innovative thoughts come from the silence of being by myself. I challenge you to ta...
