🌉🌆🌇 Needed #NPSF this morning more than I knew. Make every day count, be kind, work hard, appreciate. I saw the most beautiful sunrise over San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge that I’ve ever seen from Hawk Hill. Thanks to Laura for choosing today’s hills and taking all the photos. Ever the @Nov_Project_SF SF photographer, I snuck a backlit shot of her while she checked her DSLR. 30 minutes went by so quickly. The sun rose. Laura captured us in our post-trail-running excitement. After we returned from running hills in the Marin Headlands we grabbed an early breakfast at Haight Street Market around 08:00. It was cold out, the breeze crisper than usual. Something about the angle of the morning sun this time of the year reminded me of the lox bagels I used to get many years ago. I ordered one from memory. Almond latte in my metal water bottle, from this year’s routine. It was quieter, more muted in the market. After ordering I found out we lost Gus, co-owner of Haight Street Market, AKA Gus’s Community Market. http://hoodline.com/2017/09/gus-s-community-market-owner-killed-in-bayview-hit-and-run Market workers I’ve known for years were visibly shaken. All I could offer were a few words and hugs. I knew him as an acquaintance for so many years. Gus will be missed. My thoughts are with his family and employees. Just a couple of weeks ago we lost @tedr and I still haven’t been able to write about it. Lots of good things here: https://twitter.com/search?q=%40tedr I reflected while at work, with another bridge in view, then at dinner, and finally at home. I’ll write more later. For now: Breathe. Make every day count. Be kind. Work hard. Appreciate. Forgive. Be grateful.
