I celebrated New Years here in Monaco last night. I can't complain about the food. It might have been the best food I've ever had... The setting was gorgeous. The thought of being here was great. If you're with people you love. But I'm here with people who don't know me very well. I like them, they're all very sweet.. But there's just something about celebrating the coming year with people who you know deeply. I missed that. Also, last night was sad for me in another way. A year ago I was making decisions for a person who I'm not now. Maybe that's confusing, and a little sad, but I think we all have those thoughts. Some people make resolutions for the coming year. I don't. I think back and try to remember the good times. And try to remember not to make a decision now that the person I am in a year would disagree with.
I slept in today. Till early afternoon. But I couldn't get to sleep until around 5:30am over here. Wide awake. Good thing I bought some good books before this trip. I've almost finished all of them now. I tried calling some people back home last night, but nobody answered their phones. I talked to one friend for a while. That made it a little better. Guess you could say I'm a little homesick. That's unusual for me. I'm never homesick.
I went for a nice run today around the city. It's so beautiful here. Right on the ocean. The wind was a little chilly. A lot of people out walking by the water. I ran for a long time, and when I got back to my place I felt a little sick. Maybe from the thinking, maybe from the cold air. Either way, it's nothing a hot bubble bath can't fix.
