I love walking through Central Park by myself. Whenever weather and my schedule allows, I walk across the park from west to east to catch the uptown 6 home. It’s my time to unwind. One of my favorite things while strolling through the park is read the dedications on the park benches. I wonder about the people who wrote them and make up stories about the people who wrote them. I think about what words I would leave behind for my loved ones. I toyed with the idea of adopting a bench, to be permanently part of the park I love so much.
Then I saw most benches are about $7,500 ($25K to have one custom made)…so doesn’t look like I’ll adopt-a-bench any time soon. But If could, I think this is what it would say.

| What would YOUR bench say? |
Remember me as you walk through this park!
Mine would say…..
"Stop! Sit. Listen. Remember. Smile.
Now get the hell out of here."
Because that is the NY way
I'm a big ol' sap who got all teary from this post!
