i'm only this far and only tomorrow leads my way.

with a free afternoon to spend as i want, i find myself wanting to write but not knowing exactly what to write about. funny, because there have been plenty of times lately when i have been busy and something will hit me. i have to hurry to write it down before the idea gets away from me. but, here i am, at 4 o'clock on a friday afternoon, with all the time in the world to write and with few ideas in mind. okay, that's not true. i almost always have a million ideas in mind. but, at the moment, no one idea seems like it will lead to a blog entry. so, instead, here are some random thoughts for today. we'll see where this goes.

i'm thinking that, if you wake up silly, you're in for a silly day all around (yes, today is one of those days).

i love cloudy days. i know that makes me sound like a dark, depressed person. i'm neither. but i do prefer cloudy, rainy days (yes, today is one of those days).

i enjoy learning new things about people (old friends and new) and myself. almost every day lately, i get to know (i get the opportunity to know) people (old and new) and myself a little better. sometimes, in the getting to know them, i find a little more of myself as well (yes, today is one of those days).

this one is no surprise but.. i like to laugh and i laugh a lot (i promise, it's genuine), and i find that, lately, my days are completely filled with laughter (yes, today is one of those days).

i'm realizing that more and more of my time and my days is/are spent in the moment - enjoying what i'm doing when i'm doing it (really being there and in it), without distraction, without worry (yes, today is one of those days).

so, today. a silly, cloudy day full of new opportunities and laughs, and i've enjoyed (i've lived) it all. today is full. i'd say that's a good day. the best part is, every day has been like this lately for one reason or another. every day has been full. i can say that sincerely. and, although it's only february (almost march), it has already been a beautiful year just two (almost three) months in.

looking forward to the rest of 2010. it's going to be a full year.
