Lovely day
This afternoon after lunch I headed for the library, and as I left the lab I was struck by what a lovely day it is. I stood on the sidewalk with my arms out to catch the breeze, head tilted up to the cloudy sky, took a deep breath of Blacksburg fall air, and thought how lucky I am to be alive. The wind tugged on my hair and chilled my skin and standing there, I was struck by the feeling of being happy. Happy to be alive, happy to be who I am. Almost giddy with it. And I'm not sure if it was the weather, or that my immunology professor is starting to teach me pinochle and today at lunch I cleaned his clock (and then he told me I aced my midterm) or a combination of everything, but it's been a WONDERFUL day.
