Spring

The weather has really been revealing Spring lately, which has meant outdoor cafes and the like (or in the above case: wine and pints on the river lee while watching the sun set). It's really quite phenomenal how the lengthening days lift your mood and give you the feeling of limitless possibilities. I've also been listening to some very inspiring podcasts: Marisa at Creative Thursday and then Oprah and Ekhart via itunes. Also my amazing cousin posted today and it was just making me happy; I love having a moment where everything just falls into place and goes right (particularly when things have seemed all out of whack) and it just makes me smile to think of her riding her bike down the road and just saying "awesome"; I'm in that kind of mood.

It is so true and so amazing how much of a difference more daylight can make. It's a welcome return. Just wait, you'll get more daylight than you can deal with!

I read the link to Linda's blog. Those pictures were fantastic! And in terms of being so present and happy in a moment, I've totally had a similiar experience. In Rome, on my little rented Vespa, cross the Ponte Vittorio Emanuele and turn the corner down the Via della Conciliazione leading to Piazza San Pietro and Basilica. I know I was grinning ear to ear and the little boy from Illinois had to give an audible "WHOOP!" :)
