Seeing The Light

It’s begun to get noticeably lighter around here. I’m not talking about my desk at work, but in general. Yesterday I heard the answerphone switch on at 5 which activates a Pavlov-like response in me where I stand and gather my essentials before heading home. As I looked around the office though I realised something was different – there was sunshine on the blinds! (I initially mis-typed ‘blonds’ there, I think it’s safe to say it’s more blinds than blonds here – *sigh*).

Slowly but surely, Winter’s on its way out and Spring is coming. The mornings are getting lighter and not quite so unbearable, reaching for the snooze button on the alarm happens in a faded glow now rather than utter darkness. At lunchtimes I’ve found myself driving to the shops with the windows down on sunny days, and I’ve already managed to find some ‘Summer Songs’. Summer Songs for me are those songs which, if their playing coincides with a warm sunny day and a good mood, are uplifting. In fact this year may have to be the year when I take the time to collate them all and make an album to have me beaming from ear to ear for hours at a time.

As if that wasn’t good enough, the fancy tea and muffin fairy visited today, along with a Hokusai to make me smile – someone knows what I like. It’s officially over half-way through the week now too. I guess you could say I’m having a ‘glass is half full’ kinda day. Whether you’re decorating the steps of a local park with the contents of your stomach, or celebrating the purchase of the most expensive dirt you ever bought today, I hope your day is a bright one.

As I was explaining to someone, I was trying to find the perfect song to end this post on, but I couldn’t decide, so here are two. I’m too good to you!
