Interview From the Inner Circle

It’s 8am on the east coast. My friends and family won’t be awake for a little while yet. G and I are at the beach. He’s in the water.

Before that we were on a drive. One charming beach town after another. Coffee. We needed some. When I saw the line in front of the little bakery/coffee shop, we knew. Croissants made on sight looking every bit as flaky and perfect as they look in France. Yes please! ‘Sift’ did not disappoint. The coffee was hot, good and they had heavy cream. A ham and cheese croissant! Apparently there are two more Sift bakeries. One in the cute town of Mystic. Really?!

Are we having fun? YES!

Flower picking?!. Clamming?! Flea Market!? Lobster rolls!? Yes yes and yes!

Wow!

Do we feel happy? Yes

And how does happy feel? Content, hopeful, unhurried. It feels like peace. It feels like summertime as a kid. It feels like freedom. It feels good…

Who could have predicted happy? Probably not me.

Are we really going to a flea market?

Yes

Are we really going clamming and kayaking?

Yes.

Does this feel like a vacation?

It does.

Happy Labor Day weekend, everyone, it’s not over yet!
