Happy Daylight Savings!
Sunday, October 29, 2006
I woke up this morning and it just felt so good to be alive! I'm not sure why but there's an underlying excitement in the sunshine. Perhaps the sun was just so needed, as it's been raining and cold and windy for days. It's shining so gloriously, however, and has been since 6:30 a.m. and I feel like I could just bask in it. It feels great.
Perhaps the daylight savings time change is what has set the mood. Now that the mornings come earlier and the nights settle in sooner, we can nestly cozily into our apartments with friends and good books and push on through the winter months in the warmth of our spaces.
Or perhaps it's just because I so enjoyed my evening last night here in my apartment, which I can't say I've done yet here in this Pittsbugh abode. My apartment has been "home" but has felt more like a place of industry, somewhere I study and read and write papers and plot out my weekly schedules of grad school disciplines. But last night, last night I read while I watched a movie! I haven't done that since high school and it felt like a slumber party or a guilty pleasure to not spend those three hours toiling through another textbook. (Perhaps this elation is due to the fact that I discovered I DO have a TV station, with it being ABC, and this allows me Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives and Harry Potter movies!)
Whatever the change may be, my soul feels full right now and that's a very nice feeling; and since I do feel so filled, I realize I must have been so very empty and aching.
