Inspiring Food for Thought...& For A Healthy Life.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I know a week ago my blog was very scrooge-like in regards to this day. And that maybe this year I may have someone to celebrate it with. Well my friends...this year, I have a valentine once again :) I affectionately call her my wife. She's very special to me.

As I had stated, this blog is reporting to you from San Francisco. The bay area has always been my 2nd home...my home away from home. I have so many relatives up here it's pretty crazy. After a 10 hour drive, stopping at Gilroy, Solvang, & Santa Barbara, all that on-the-road frustration seems so damn miniscule & actually quite ridiculous after you spend quality time with the ones you love...& know deep down in your heart how much they are an inspiration in your life.

Attending my Ate Kay's wedding was probably the best family get together I've had in years with my dad's side. Being able to see everyone altogether for this blessed occasion & of course tear up the dance floor with them was something I can always look back on to keep me going. Seeing old flames rekindle their feelings for one another gave me hope for them. It made me once again acknowledge the fact that I have so many people to be grateful to...as they have been the biggest inspirations to me. Huge occasions like this happen once in a blue moon, that reception in the ballroom was a blast. We all had a little too much wine O_O

My family (both sides) are people I can never take for granted. They have raised me to be who I am. My friends (both past & present) keep me on the ground & are there for me whenever I need them. And of course...goin back to my home away from home in San Francisco & visiting my family always helps me see the beauty in my life & the wonderful people that are in it. They mold me. They move me. They inspire me.

San Francisco itself always gives me a thrill I can't find in very many places. The fact that we come up here so much because of family makes it such a place worth the long drive. Yes it has it's controversies especially with a specific issue of course...but I ignore that fact & make it a special place because of my FAMILY. No matter where I go or end up in life...I will always, as stated by the great crooner Tony Bennett, leave my heart in San Francisco.

Deuces.

ps: A special shoutout to fellow blogger Ephraim & Gomer. I know I've said this, but I again would like to acknowledge the impact alot of your writings have on me. They make me think & they touch my heart. Seriously. Your blogs keep me going & show me that through their simplicity, they hold within them their own moralistic & inspirational treasures that I will always keep very close to me.
