Days Like Today…
… I’m so thankful to be able to just sit back and appreciate life. Even when things are seeming particularly crappy, I guess it’s always better than the alternative.
It’s another beautiful day today. The weather is perfect and the temperatures mild. Everything is in full bloom and although it’s wreaking havoc on everyones’ allergies, it’s such a beautiful sight. Refreshing. Spring always makes me feel like it’s possible to get a fresh start, to gain a better outlook.
I’m kicked back at a cafe right now, enjoying an afternoon of people watching and baking in the sun (and being incredibly Irish, there’s absolutely no doubt that I am actually baking.) I love life on the river. Northern California has such interesting people to offer up every single day. I wish that I had thought to bring my charcoals and a sketch book, this woud have been a great day to try and steal a few moments of the day onto paper. Sometimes you need something tangible to remind you just how fascinating life can be. It’s always the smallest things that amaze me the most. I suppose that’s something that I can be thankful for.
Ahhh, Sunday laziness. I hate for Sundays to come to an end. I’m really enjoying my work, but I have no desire to wake up so incredibly early in the morning. If only I could work afternoons. That would be the sweetest thing ever.
I love all the people I see around here. I wish I was more capable of striking up a conversation with a complete stranger. You never know how you’re going to be received though, that coupled with a constant self-consciousness is enough to make me sit here quietly all to myself just wondering. I suppose wondering is enough itself, at least then I get to make up my own comical anectdotes about everyone. I suppose it’s a lot more amusing and gratifying that the reality of them probably is anyway.
I don’t know what I’m rambling about, per usual. I just have a desire to type nonsensically. Wish I actually had something of value to say!
