Run to the lake

Tuesday I actually had an evening free and the sun was shining, so I decided to lace up and go for a run over to Lakewood park to check out the lake and do some hill repeats on the ramp down to a waterfront promenade. I love that lake. And honestly could stare at it for days. I love that it always looks a little different. In the summer it has different winds, waves, colors and in the winter (this winter especially) there is ice that comes and goes. 

I used to have an apartment with a view and would at least catch a glimpse daily. Now I've realized I go a few days without seeing the water sometimes. But I am thankful that it is only a mile away to get an amazing view! I am thankful that I am able to live so close to such an amazing natural wonder such as a "Great Lake" and can see it so often and appreciate it's beauty!!

Live theater

Living in Cleveland, I have come to love all there is to do here! Especially playhouse square! Cleveland's Playhouse Square boasts one of the top 5 theater districts in the country!! We have regular top level tours plus several other shows going on all the time. I have been fortunate to see some great shows here. Tonight I went to see Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. It was excellent. Definitely darker and heavier than I expected, but per usual standards, the performance was great!

The thing I am most thankful for today... Playhouse Square, and their $10 smart seats!! For only 10 bucks you can see almost any big show if you get your tickets early. Sure you're pretty high up, but there is nothing better than a live performance. Especially when it's cheaper than a movie theater!!
