…that describes today. there are good days, and then there are days when particular moments occur, or are made, and it just makes you think, “wow. that was beautiful.”
khun Dam (the maid at work), was cleaning my office today while i was in there. i usually listen to music when i’m not recording, and i remembered how Cake really likes Phantom of the Opera… so i played a song for khun Dam and asked if she had ever heard it before. she nodded and then, out of nowhere, said (in broken english), “stevie wonder.” i cracked up. and it just so happened i had a stevie wonder album on my iTunes. so i found the most appropriate song (Isn’t She Lovely), and played it. loudly. and then i started dancing to see what she’d do. and i got her to dance with me! i couldn’t believe it! i happen to think this particular moment was beautiful. i hope she was able to sense how much i appreciate her, and that she’s more than just a maid.
today i realized that it’s possible to hear someone smile (without seeing them, or hearing them, as it were). and i think that’s beautiful.
i had a really good chat with my brother. which reminds me, i am preparing an entry in the near future soley consisting of mean things mike did to me growing up. ready yourself, big bro. i’m bringin’ the heat.
i laughed a lot today.
it rained.
i didn’t feel ill after eating a lot of kit-kats.
so, those are just are few examples… but i must say, i really really enjoy living. it doesn’t matter where i am in the world or what job i am doing – life always has the ability to be incredibly enjoyable if i let it, and not take it too seriously.
i must now resign to bed… i’m posting this a bit later than normal and as a result, i am getting a bit sleepy; otherwise i would have written more.
enjoy your thursday : )
