Little break

This weekend we went to Glennwood Springs. My aunt and uncle rented a house up there for the weekend and they invited us and my cousins to join them. Steven and I were in charge of dinner Saturday nite. While I was cooking, my uncle Doug and I had the following conversation:

Doug: You're a good cook, you don't get frazzled.
Sara: Thank you! (thinking in my head about five minutes before when I was extremely frazzled)
Doug: I like to cook for two reasons, 1 being that I can cook whatever I want, and 2 since cooking is during cocktail hour and I am right by the fridge.
Sara: hahahhhahahahahhahaa
Doug: I think I know why you like to cook. Because you are very creative and because you like pleasing people.
Sara: I think you know me really well!
Doug: I like to think so, well I guess I don't know a lot, but I do know that you are one of my favorite people in the whole world.
Sara: (melting and swooning)

That encounter made my whole month. I was kinda nervous to make a meal for 8 people, haven't really cooked for that many people by myself. I really loved that my uncle had mentioned the creative aspect of cooking.

Lately I have been feeling a little sad. I think it's because I am such a daydreamer but I have no clue how some of my daydreams could really happen. That is where the creative aspect kicks in. I would love more than anything to have a creative occupation. I would be so much more fulfilled. And not as sad.

Here is the pond that I sat next to this weekend. All of the trees around were yellow. The yellow leaves kept falling in to the lake.
