Today was a fantastic day. I got up at around 9:00, went took a nice cool shower, got dressed, and cleaned the place up. At around noon, Wilson and I went to Pappy's room. Wilson and Pappy needed a herbal remedy for their allergies while I prefer an over the counter drug. Anyhow, then we went and layed on the grass near the campus pond. Let me tell you it was hotter than a dog's ass on a sunny summer afternoon. It reached about 90 at least I think, felt like about 350. I felt like one of the chocolate chip cookies we purchased at the Blue Wall.
We moved to the shade soon and my God, it was fan-friggin-tastic. This is what life should be about. Oh, the amazing feeling of tranquility that I bathed in while snoozing under the shade of a beautiful tree. My words really do it no justice. There was a cool breeze floating through the air, carrying the sweet scent of spring flowers. People were laughing and talking and enjoying the spring. Some were lounging by the pond as well. Some were enjoying a cold brew on a hot day. It was just a great day.
These are more of the days that I thank God I'm alive.
Spending the day with Wilson and Pappy was splendid. I had a far better time than I would have going to classes. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but there is something to be said for the peace of mind that a little relaxation can bring you.
Go outside. Enjoy the beautiful weather. Make love. Be glad to be alive.
