Friends, it is currently 7:11 p.m. and the SUN IS STILL SHINING! This is a breakthrough that entirely stuns and delights me. Fridays are good days in general, but today was particularly lovely:
1. The sun shone high and bright so I donned the green polka dot sundress
2. The students "LOVE!LOVE!LOVE!" [<--so a="" all="" and="" be="" br="" close.="" extremely="" how="" incredibly="" it="" like="" loud="" love="" loved--without="" magic="" markers.="" me="" mopeds="" reservation.="" scented="" should="" student="" they="" things="" to="" wrote="">3. Green stuff and buds everywhere
4. Sunning in the park while small children tromp home from school, each of them giving me a wave and a smile. Some of the braver ones just crouched right down next to my blanket and asked me questions: "You doing homework, miss?" "What school do you go to?" "Are you having a picnic?" "Do you have a daughter?" Yes, the university, no--but I wish, no--do you? That last one got the girl to chuckle as she flicked her braids over her shoulder and scampered down the hill.
5. Sandlot, watching it feeling zero guilt, with the windows cast open and a bowl of grapes by my side
6. Lemonade popsicles and thinking about this lovely story Jess told me yesterday about watching the sunset as a little girl
7. Talking about writing with the sister, how it's really hard but so, so worth it
8. One miraculous package in the mail containing a lovely book on whales and kind words--I can't stop grinning, just thinking about it
9. Accepted the summer job offer and felt good about it
10. Read a book--I forgot how good it feels to do that!
In conclusion, electricity and general joy flung themselves heartily about today. I think if it could take the form of a song it would be this one:
