Creating 2015—Day 16:   San Francisco!

I took a walk on the nostalgic side today.  I haven’t been in San Francisco for a decade.  Well, actually, it’s been more like 15 years!  I spent a ton of time up here with my ex-husband in my twenties and then again in my early 30’s when Best Friend Bride was going to the American Conservatory Theater—A.C.T.  OMG, we had some good times in this city!  And I found myself searching for familiar haunts.  Places I remembered coming to over and over again.  I successfully found two of those places but the third I was in search of was no longer there. It had changed hands and was called something else now.  Sad.  But also a reminder that nothing lasts forever.

Until tomorrow, create from what you have…nostalgia.
