july 24: laurie, retired actress, sook restaurant

laurie was seated at the table next to me for lunch, and she was flying solo, as was i.. (its often my life here sans visitors- but that is ok because that is how i keep meeting and having conversations with perfect strangers!)

we connected over our beloved rama dish.  and our love for the restaurant in general.  seriously- where else can you go and eat a delicious, fresh, four-course thai lunch for $7?! 

and so our conversation began.  we discussed all sorts of things, from religion to politics to family to career paths to restaurant recommendations.  her wisdom? 

do everything you can now.  today.  and do it precisely because of the fact that you can't do it all. but you'll do a lot more trying to do everything than worrying about not being able to everything.  and the days add up, years add up, and at last, you will have done it all.

don't get tired of trying to do it all.  just go go go, and you will find new sources of energy as you press forward with everything inside of you.  never let up.
