Today is one of those days that you go outside and you can't help but smile. It's sunny and you can smell the fall leaves in the air, and with every gust of wind, more leaves fall from the sky. And even though it's November 2, it's in the 70s. So the wind blows, and instead of pulling a jacket closer, you revel in it. You let the wind blow through your hair, and you walk down the street and smile at everyone. At the world.
As I walked back inside, I ran into a coworker and Joe, the executive director of my company. They were chatting, and I joined in, and know that Joe noticed the fact that I was carrying four books with me (having just come from the library). That can only make a good impression. Look! I read! I just hope he doesn't think, "Wow, four books. She must have a lot of time to read and clearly doesn't work enough." But I don't think he will. And thankfully he couldn't see that two of the books were Bridget Jones and the sequel. They're totally cancelled out by the fact that another book was Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. I don't even like Hemingway, so clearly I get bonus points for that. And for the other book, which I've never read and am reading solely on the recommendation of someone's post in an online forum.
Have a happy weekend, all! Enjoy the world.
Current song in my head:
"Beautiful Day" by U2
