My optimism knows no bounds.

The sun was out in full force today, for the first time in a long while. It actually felt like it might be warm sometime this year. there is hope for summer after all...

Days like this are among the most joyful I know. It's a realization of hope, and a reinstating of faith. The sun won't be hidden forever, the Idaho wind won't always win out, flowers will grow, and your skinny white legs? The barbecues and hotdogs will make them plump and the sun will turn them a more attractive shade of skin.

Did I believe this on Tuesday? Well, of course I knew Spring was coming, who doesn't, right?

But now?

Now I know for sure.

Half to celebrate and half to just eat something, I decided to consume an orange in the Walmart parking lot, sitting on the curb near my car, getting sticky and being warm. It was funny when people ignored me, funnier when they noticed, and all-in-all, the experience was well worth it.

Oh, and the orange was really good, just to be clear.

So, all of that to say:

Spring?

I'm ready for it.

& "Lungs" by Florence + the Machine will be my car-ride soundtrack of choice. Those drums at stoplights? You can't resist it. Meridian traffic becomes much more dramatic and adventurous when you have a good beat going.

Off to be happy and attribute it to the Vitamin D in me.

Cheerio!
