Temperature must be over 100 degrees today in Los Angeles. I took a walk around the neighborhood with my boyfriend and my dog and noticed many yard sales, and kids gathered at the park to play on the swings and in the sand. I ate two ice creams. One drumstick at the park and a strawberry popsicle on the way home, both bought from the ice cream carts. They were quite an indulgence on a hot day. It's the simple things that add up to a meaningful existence. I value the time I spend with family and friends, just hanging out. I like eating strawberry ice cream, walking my dog, and taking pictures.
