Today for some unexplained reason Central Park was on my mind and I all of a sudden I had tears in my eyes. I want so badly to be walking through the park with a pumpkin spice latte and fall leaves crunching under foot. I miss New York and all it's wonderful architecture, colors, my beloved friends, the amazing diverse people but most of all I miss Central Park. It's so beautiful and magical there. I gave birth to both my kids at Mount Sinai that over looks that park, we walked hundreds of times through that park, Jeremy and I were married in that park, we rode our bikes, pushed our kids, blew bubbles, rode the carousel, enjoyed the Central park zoo, had many picnic's in that park, watch opera, movies, symphonies in that park, went to the many playgrounds in that park, we've feed ducks, watched plays and kissed in that park. I often feel like I left my heart in that very park.

Reading this makes me miss it too. I walked there every morning and it always made me appreciate living in NYC, even on those days that the city seemed to try to knock me down. Did I ever tell you about the time that Ron and I went for walk in the park on a winter afternoon (the kind of silent day when you feel like you're the only 2 people in the park)and we saw a huge white swan sitting in the middle of a frozen, snowed over pond? It was so beautiful, I can almost cry just thinking about it. The most wonderful thing is that the park will still be there when you go back. Happy Fall, Cariisa!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading this. It helps me appreciate NYC.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Central Park misses you and your pumpkin spice latte too!
