Good Morning.

Let's get right to the thick of it, shall we? Have you ever felt so utterly alive that is stunned you wordless? You were simply rendered mute? If not, I feel bad for you. It's the most peaceful, and surreal, feeling out of the entire human range of emotion.

It happened in the dark, a jaunt to the park. (Mind you... this wasn't exactly cleared with the adults) After dark. Without cars. And without fear. I felt invincible. And when you sit on the swings and pump yourself to a dizzyingly high level, when the swing chain falls slack, you're there. There are no words, just slack chain to imitate flying. And thousands of sparkling, twinkling fireflies dodging in and out amongst the trees. One moment without breath. Without a single word to say. Just that feeling of pure aliveness. Beauty is night-calm. And the adrenaline didn't hurt, either. :)

One night to live up to my expectations. It was lovely. And tonight? Or, more so, this morning...
It has been fulfilling. Thoughtful and occupied. And yes, there is really something about grocery stores that shouts: "DANCE! You know you want to!!" And believe me. Next time you're in the grocery, picking up your mundane produce you'll feel the urge to dance. Act on the urge. Indulge in a little chaos. You'll feel happier. I promise.
I am a snottily self-proclaimed whimsy philosopher, after all. :)

Oh. Also. I do advise falling in love. Even if it's unrequited. Sometimes it's just nice to pretend.

Good morning-night to you.

Love the happy whimsical Audrey. And I love that the text is about the same size as your handwriting.
