Shapes

So today's photo challenge was "Shapes" and as I walked to an interview at Niketown in SF, I thought to myself: How can I make this post a not so obvious shapes post.  While walking around downtown San Francisco, I realized that our entire world is composed of shapes on top of shapes to form everything around us.  It's like a larger scale of atoms to form tangible matter.  So I decided to take some pictures of shapes that caught eye. Shapes that make up "city life".  I noticed that while searching for these shapes, I began to find a new appeciation for the things that I look past daily.

Life Lesson of the Day: Learn to appreciate the small things in life.  

This past year has definitely forced me to think about everything and really appreciate the little things.  To appreciate the small successes.  To appreciate the positive people in my life, and in a weird way, to appreciate the negative ones.  I try to learn something from them too.  I enjoy the outside and fresh air in a different way.  I appreciate the short walk to the park.  I even found a new appreciation for the graffiti and grime that Oakland has to offer.

On a note outside of my "illness".  I love living in the Bay Area.  Its been a little over two years and in my heart I always need I belonged to a bigger city.  Something about the smog in the air, the dirty train stations, the rush of people in the streets, and the unbelievably amazing weather most of the year makes my heart feel a certain way.  I think I might be in love. I am so thankful that both Marc and I decided to take the huge step and move away from our comfort zone.  It has made us both better people. It has forced us both to grow up, and honestly, it gave us an avenue to fall in love with each in a whole new way. (But that's a blog for another day.)  Thank you Bay Area.  Cheers for the past two years and may we have many more great years ahead of us.

I LOVE the buildings in downtown SF.
The different layers and heights to them.
So much character.

I thought this was a cool shot of "city life".
Bikes are almost a necessity here.  I am
not sure how I have gone 2 years without one.
