A Beautiful Day

"A political victory, a rise in rents, the recovery of your sick, or return of your absent friend, or some other quite external event, raises your spirits, and you think good days are preparing for you. Do not believe it. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson Self-Reliance


A pretty nice Sunday for me... Talked to my parents for a while then went outside and laid in the sun for an hour or so. It was super hot and sticky but also rather cloudy with a bit of a breeze, so the roasting was intermittent at least. :) I tried sunbathing today without a book, odd for me but something I did in Mexico (where there were plenty of distractions poolside), and found it really wasn't so bad after all. I tend to shy away from leaving my mind to it's own devices, undistracted, but today I had a bit of peace with a side of daydreams that was rather quite nice.

Was sitting in my recliner watching the TV when I noticed the sky looking rather pretty outside. The clouds were certainly doing interesting things. So I left the A/C for a bit to stand on the porch and get my blip. Seeing how bad I've been about that lately, it was rather fortunate I suppose...
