1. co-worker feels inspired to try her hand at some baking. so i invited myself over. should be this weekend sometime! her idea? sweet potato cheesecake. how will it not be amazing!?2. took a break from elie wiesel's short stories to read his novella the accident. more on plot, etc. soon, but for now i'll say his take on the city of blinding lights especially struck me. i heart new york as much as the next, but his haunting description of times square was worth re-reading & sitting with for a while: "times square hadn't changed. false lights, artificial shadows. the same anonymous crowd twisting and untwisting. in the bars and the stores, the same tunes hitting away at your temples with thousands of invisible little hammers. the neon signs still announced that to drink this or that was good for your health, for happiness, for the peace of the world, of the soul, and of i don't know what else."
3. loving psalm 18 (for the vivid & detailed description of a great rescue). be encouraged by vs. 16 & 49, by way of summary- "He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters... therefore, i will praise you among the nations; i will sing praises to your name"
