"the perfect day...

...would definitely begin with a sunrise."

:)

Heard someone say this today. I love the idea that we can choose to acknowledge a sunrise or sunset; that just because it may be there every day doesn't mean that it's a reality for us. I have truly experienced only a handful of sunrises and sunsets...when I think about it, it's amazing how many I've missed. I've decided I'm going to pay attention to a sunrise (yikes!!) and a sunset at least once a week from now on.

Totally random - watched a random dude get cuffed and taken into custody by the library this afternoon...I couldn't stop imagining the story behind it. He was well-dressed and incredibly polite to the cop, which totally cracked me up...I overheard him asking about the cop's day; if he'd been able to enjoy the weather at all. ????? I think I've seen too many movies...I expect every scene like this to turn into something out of Antoine Fuqua's "Training Day"...


So I love how everyone is Irish today. Despite knowing less than nothing about the culture or the history behind the holiday, and despite the fact that they're less than 1/16th Irish. People are so hilarious. I almost wore orange today just to be obstinate and secure in my lack of Irish heritage, but decided I didn't want to get yelled at on such a beautiful day...

Hahaha! So funny! I actually told someone that I didn't wear green because I didn't want to take sides today. Then I had to explain what I meant.
