Grateful

my life felt like paradise this morning, when I walked out of my apartment to swim some laps this morning. Thirty steps out my door and I'm diving in to warm water under a cool breeze.

This picture was taken off my balcony to show how very close this plastic palm tree paradise is to my current home.

Speaking of home, I hung curtains, which I have never done anywhere that I have lived before. This is actually home.

Some other fantastic happenings in which I found humor happened over the last week. One, I was driving through a neighborhood and drove past a couple outside. They were wearing the same color shirt and were talking as one was about to go walk the dog. Then she stopped walking and turned, and they just had this really passionate, intimate kiss in the middle of the driveway. It was so postcard with their shirts. I liked it.

Second, in a mad-hatter rush to get to work last week, I ran out the door with my hair wet, but rolled down the windows and basically blowdried my hair through the window. It was exciting.

Third, I hung all my clothes up in my huge new closet, and in a moment of inspiration from eighth grade science class, I hung all my t-shirts in rainbow color order. ROY G. BIV.

I'm not sure if it was OCD, nerdiness, or boredom, but I laugh everytime I walk into my closet.

I must read before work.

happy day to you!
