Birds and sunshine woke me up earlier than usual. Nature's alarm clock has no snooze button. The day looks to be glorious. If only there were a way to escape work. Just knowing the sun is shining is enough to brighten the day, literally. Later I'll see a show, one of my favorite local artists. The anticipation will sustain me until tonight. Anticipation and excitement for things to come are important ingredients for happiness; future's foreplay. To cultivate contentment people should practice looking forward to things. We spend far too much time looking back.
I think I hear a frog outside. Either that or a bird performing a spot on frog impression. I wonder if I've ever told the story here of my first introduction to death and murder, and frogs. Well, it was more like a wrongful death resulting from gross negligence than it was a murder. I'd, quite literally, shattered the fragile glass jar containing all my youthful innocence. Through the sloppy poked air-holes in the jar's lid, I'd lost the ignorance allotted to me by inexperience.
Next time. This way you have something to look forward to.
