Long walks officially are good for the soul
One would think I'd be exhausted today after my EPIC walk yesterday. But, no. Instead, I feel ABSOLUTELY refreshed in every way. I can't even explain it without lapsing into Oprah-level zen speak. But, yes, I do mean EMOTIONALLY in addition to being full of energy today.
It was kind of a schizo Sunday...totally blue skies to start, then totally cloudy by mid-afternoon. I enjoyed it, save for the usual aggravation at ShopRite. Is it written somewhere that I MUST endure the same aisle pattern of the MOST white trash people on the planet? In two words, fat and loud. Let's add badly dressed. With horribly tied-back, long, retro, Mama Cass hair. This was the 30something daughter, bellowing thoughts to her far more reserved mother on every product they encountered. A lot of the word "MA!" "MA, here's the pasta on sale!" "MA, this is the toothpaste we get." It was necessary to also read the description of the toothpaste on the box to MA. I think it was at this point that I broke loose and jumped ahead a few aisles to lose them. MA!
A highlight of my day was learning Amazon was giving away one free download away today due to getting their millionth Twitter follower or something. I promptly signed up and soon had Kings of Leon's USE SOMEBODY in my possession...the PERFECT song to get on Labor Day Weekend. This song's been building all summer to its current top five peak, and was just beginning its run around Memorial Day, when I quickly pegged it as a Memorable Song of Summer '09. So the symmetry of my finally now acquiring it delights me.
Yes, it's been a good Sunday. 2am now on the night before The Final Unofficial Day of Summer. I'm feeling good about September...and far from ready to let summer end.
