To live

Happiness

It’s the most wonderful day. Nothing extraordinary happened, but it just is (or am I on one of my highs? Hope not). It’s wonderful to live. I wanted to let you know.

"It is Wonderful to live. My sword rusts In the pleasant rain. "

    I think the most wonderful days when nothing extraordinary happens are the most beautiful kind, because they fill you with hope that it’s very possible to make a day like this happen again.

    Wishing you many, many more of these :)

    I have days like this and they are wonderful. I am so glad that you are having one and I can tyell you that you deserve a million more. My day was just tiring. It makes me tired to even think about going to work tomorrow. That and I didn’t sleep last night because we had a howling wind and rain storm.

    Here’s to a wonderful evening and sweet dreams tonight.

    i am not in my forties and not even approaching, although i think my 40s are going to be very very exciting.

    peaceful days are ever rarer than exciting days, aren’t they?

    I know you’re still awake Chloe. Why are you up so late? (My Blackberry buzzed just a second ago with your message)

    Oh. Because you just don’t want today to end eh? Yeah, today was so nice here too. It’s January but it’s been balmy with excellent sunsets recently. It’s like a bit of some other dreamland that we don’t deserve but won’t pass up either.

    Good point, well made.
    I think the same when I walk down the Strand and the setting sun blinds all us besuited money-making commuters.

    Good work.
