Days like yesterday make my think about what would have happened if I were in Chicago. I guess it is a good thing that I wasn't there, because it would have been pretty tempting to try to get face to face with those two and see their faces. But besides that I would have loved to be able to just do what I used to do - drive up and down Lakeshore Drive.
To me, Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline are a natural high. It was love at first sight when I saw a lake that looked like an ocean with the most beautiful skyline laying besides it, it just made me relax. The traffic you would ask? I can care less, when I am on Lakeshore Drive I honestly just enjoy the view, and I am happy I did this every second I was there because today I miss it so much.
On a day like today, I would have called my friends and went for a run at the lake front (weather permitting of course) or just have gone out for a coffee to pour my heart out while sitting by the window of my favorite coffee shop. I miss the people watching, the elegance of the coats, being able to dress up even if I was just going to the grocery store, my Saturday trips to the Green City Market, and how simple was to just dress up and go, because no matter what the mood was, there is always something great to do in a city like Chicago.
I wish I was in Chicago on a day like today; the good news is that my wish will come true in just a few days. I will be in Chicago by the end of the week, I will sit on the lake front bundled up in winter clothes to just contemplate my "happy place" and charge my world with the energy that only Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline can give.
Until next post!
