My feet are sore and I'm so tired I could sleep sitting up, but I'm also full of a humming energy and can't stop smiling. Sarah and I spent the day just strolling through Manhattan. Even while living in the city as a freshman in college, I felt like there was always some place to be or some where I had to run to. Today, we just strolled. We headed to the shopping mecca of Macy's, joining the masses of tourists, while trying to look somewhat like we belonged. We browsed floor after floor, skimming the sales and dreaming over the expensive. We tried on jewelry and spritzed perfumes, we even peeked into the bridal section...not seriously though, of course! From there we headed downtown, stopping for a bite to eat and to peek in a few more stores, finally ending up near Ground Zero, which I've yet to really see since 9/11. However, before making our way to the area, Sarah grabs my arm and pulls me into a nail salon and before I know it, I'm sitting with my hands in bowls of water and getting my nails filed. Totally girly and totally unncessary, but I felt so spontaneous and content it was completely worth it. Sometimes it really is nice to treat yourself, especially when it's unexpected. Just that little something, on top of one of the nicest days I've spent in New York City had me feeling like I was one of the luckiest, happiest girls around. Cheesy, but it's the little things, not to mention the company of purely lovely people, to put a smile on your face. :)
