A Brief Moment

Sitting on some stairs overlooking the lake I feel a refreshing balance of contentment and joy. I hug my knees as blonde hair softly whips around my shoulders. My senses entertain me as goosebumps appear scattering down my legs and forearms when a wave of cool air passes over, and disappear when the sun breaks through the seemingly clear skies. My mind, eager for stimulation, begins processing the way the fine ripples in the water dance and the way the trees bend as the wind combs through their branches. I take a sip of pomegranate soda and apply some peppermint Chapstick. This moment feels so innocent and care free. So good and simple. After some time of sitting, I notice my shoulders blushing from the heat and reach for my flip flops. It was calming while it lasted.

Saturday Casualties

While brushing my hair and considering sleep, I've come to the determination that there are simply not enough hours in the night time. I say night time because it's 1:00am and I am nonchalantly sipping wine and browsing the web. It's a Saturday night of course (or what used to be for that matter) and I just can't seem to place my head on the pillow. My mind juggles with thoughts, my heart stirs with dreams...and...my eyes narrow in on the 6% battery life remaining on my macbook. I guess some things in life are a little more obvious than others. In this instance, I am 100% uncertain about life and 6% battery life is simply not enough time to figure it out.

Consider my wine glass raised...a toast!
To irony.
