One thing I look forward to all year long is ice skating and that's what I did for part of the afternoon yesterday. On my way home I was waiting at a stoplight when the car behind me honked. Green light. Reminds me of the last time that happened to me, also after skating. Driving directly after a serious workout should be illegal.
Next moment of brilliance (and I think there were only two today) was on my way out of Starbucks. I'd stopped partially for old times' sake, at the one off Fairview in Roseville, near where I used to live. I also stopped to obtain something to shake me to a new level of consciousness. I'd ordered a brewed coffee (cheapest thing on the menu) with free shot of vanilla (because I used my Starbucks card, registered online) and it was wonderful. Perfect temperature, wonderful aroma, a nice chilli winter night, and I'd just been skating. Happiness. I was struggling for words to tell myself how I felt about all of this. Yes, I talk to myself about exciting things if no one is around. Best I could do was...
"That's amazingly GOOD goodness"
Very descriptive, I know, but some things defy verbalization.
