I recently visited Star, ID to spend time with a friend who is battling leukemia. I've been to Boise several times, but hadn't seen any of the rest of Idaho. It's a beautiful state, but I saw more than one F.J.B. sticker on cars or trucks, so was reminded that these are not necessarily like-minded people. Still, it was so good to be with my friend for what might or might not be the last time.
Today I went to the city's largest art museum and, although I've been there quite a few times, saw exhibits I have missed in the past. I was with a friend who makes a part time home in Seattle, and she and her husband do a lot of exploring of the city, the kind I did when I first moved here but about which I have become a bit more blasé. So nice to see the museum through fresh eyes.
She also recommended a Bolivian restaurant for lunch, which was quite good and, since we sat on the second story deck, afforded a lovely view and nice breeze.
I have recommitted to finding more ways to explore new places and new experiences. Inertia and habit have a gravity all their own, and it takes something, a certain energy and determination, to overcome that gravity and get out there and shake up my life. If you have any ideas for me, don't hesitate to share them.
