Two days of sunshine in a row. I almost hesitate to mention it because I don't want to jinx it. Maybe as long as I don't say it out loud. If the temperature would match up with the way it looks outside, it would be even more awesome. Not that I'm complaining, the sunshine alone is good enough for me. It's an instant mood enhancer. Upon the subject of the weather, reminds me of an ongoing argument I have with a friend. He would always insist that the conversation had flat-lined the moment the topic turned to weather, and would immediately cease communication anytime I brought it up. I disagree. The weather affects everyone, no matter what race or social status you are. In our planet's current state, the weather is tragic and exciting, rearranging climates and lives everywhere. I suppose if I were secluded indoors all of my afternoons and nights, and never left my home, talking about the weather could be boring. But I don't. I'm active. Something that affects my daily decisions, for instance; what to wear, where to go, when to make my next move and how; that doesn't sound like a boring subject to me.
Weather is in the eye of the beholder.

Dreamy, blissful days like today aren't meant to be wasted. So I'm heading downtown to get in my 2 hrs of cardio. There's an Andy Warhol exhibit at the Modern Art Museum and a collection of Van Gogh's at the Kimbell Art Museum that I'm hoping to check out along the way. I know I'm always making the comparison, but when I look back at this time last year, it always feels like I'm living in an entirely different life now. I can't imagine myself in February 2009 being this excited about running and going to art museums. Come to think of it, I can't remember a time in my life when I ever felt this genuinely happy. Peaceful and free; now everyday I wake up, I smile. Literally. I've never been the type of person to do that. I still have my good days and bad. I'm not immune to life. I'm finding out how to balance the two. I live my good days like they're my last and make the best of the bad days, only taking with me from them the lesson(s) learned.
The best way to explain is that now is the first time in my life I sincerely felt I was on a road that was leading somewhere, (besides another U-turn or dead end). Everything that happens, say for instance, getting an amazing job offer; my car running out of gas, it's all part of something that goes beyond the meaning of it's face value. Kind of like a destiny.

I can hear the sounds of reggaeton coming from my neighbor's car across the street. I think that's my cue to stop here and get outside before the sun goes down.
