Beautiful Day

Today started out beautifully. The sky was filled with golden-orange hues that illuminated my drive to work. As I drove, my stereo played a wonderful cd that a friend gave me back in December for a road trip that never was. The music echoed the morning perfectly and I caught myself smiling at the simple pleasure of the 15-minute commute.

Last night was a lovely evening too. I found myself laughing from my belly and smiling a wide, toothy grin that only comes from genuine happiness. I'm trying to teach myself to savour these moments and really be aware of them as they sometimes strike with less frequency than I would ideally like.
