Happiness

Though I had a statistics class, a doctor's appointment, and a sunburn yesterday, it was nonetheless a wonderful day. Because of the appointment, I didn't go home between my shifts at work (it was the last day of this session of classes - another reason for joy). Instead of fussing around on my computer and being fussed at by my mother, I went to the library and then to a park. Honestly, there are few things in life so relaxing as a good book, sunshine, and the freedom to enjoy both. A bike and a surfeit of trails to ride it down are also pretty nice. Lucky me, I had both. In a summer that is most remarkable for its blandness and lack of deep feeling, these truly happy moments are especially valuable.

Plus, I ran yesterday, the second day in a row. I was planning on doing a couple more runs, but then the wind came up and I chose to relax instead. But it's a good start nonetheless.
