Just before Neil left for Japan, the day before, we were lying on the deck out back his house listening to Muse and otherwise being silent. Suddenly, the following conversation occurred:
Neil: The world is going to shit
Me: I know honey. Enjoy the sun.
Of course I realized what I said after I said it and we both got talking about it but that there, that short exchange is exactly what I'm doing this weekend. I'm ignoring (as best as possible) the world going to shit, the stuff around me that may or may not be shit and the stuff inside me that may or may not be shit and I'm enjoying the sun. I'm walking and sitting and soaking in the sun 'cause it's beautiful and while everything else may be going to shit, at least I can still enjoy the sun.
