Let's try this again...

Today has been a great day! I LOVE the sunshine and today is flawless. This weather gets me antsy, itchin' for summer. Summer is barbeques. It's heat and fresh flowers. Summer is jumping into rivers, cycling around town, choosing the patio at restaurants, moonlit walks, reading in the park, being outside and feeling the breeze and the sun on your skin. I do love that first rain of the year, around September...but nothing buts that first day of pure sunshine after months of cold, wet weather.

Portland is like that. It rains a lot here. I used to laugh at people who use umbrellas, but I've become one of those people. Actually, I bought a rain hat recently. Then I don't have to hold an umbrella ALL the time because it ALWAYS rains;-)

I love the person my daughter is becoming. She's watching a TV show, female cops arresting people. One of them, says, "Lower your voice and shut your mouth." My daughter catches how unintelligent that comment is. She's just like her mother. I carefully craft my words. And I notice when others do not. Lately I feel as if I'm losing my vocabulary. I can't lose my words...they are one of the ways through which I define myself.

I feel alive today. I am so excited to work out, to accomplish, to invest in me today. Something has changed, has moved, inside me. I just feel excited and giddy and happy and alive:-)
