Brunch at Kitsch’n on Roscoe

Met up with Mike, Michelle, and Meg for brunch today at Kitsch’n on Roscoe.

Thinking back over the previous weekend, pancakes seem to be finding their way to my plate, somehow. I am liking this trend, but prooobably need to slow down on the flapjacks soon.

You can’t see it, but I’m patting my belly right now.

An interesting note: we talked about politics, marking one of the first times our group has really done so. While we traveled extensively together, we’d never really delved much into the realms of politics/religion.

I was never a very political person, but I’m finding myself having more political conversations with family and friends. And in many ways, I have found myself trying to listen more during these conversations.

I’ve been having a lot of trouble online lately, as so many voices on social media seem to be talking at one another. Across party lines, and even within party lines.

While I believe our group share a similar mindset, these were still challenging conversations. I am still in a place where I feel like I’m processing everything that happened last week, and even among friends – these were tough conversations.

That said, I also want to share that I am in awe of Meg. Her energy, her activisim. She relayed a litany of things she’s doing – the protests she’s joining, the organizations she’s donating to. I found it inspiring.
