Let's Get Maudlin

Oh, it's been absolute ages.

I was at the bar just now, and when I returned to my table with a free drink, it made me think of other kindnesses. And there was one big kindness in particular that rang to mind, and I thought that it would behoove me to mention it in writing.

But by one drink later it had fluttered off into the night, so I sat there in my skirt that doesn't quit and I called up a laundry list of all the other kindnesses that had come my way. None of them rang true as the one big kindness that had inspired me, but there's never any harm nor foul in listing off good things.

It's been a long hard winter, folks. I've been cowering at inkpens and rustling in the closets, but I feel like maybe spring has come. Maybe the daylight saved me, maybe it was as simple as a free drink. Goodness knows, I'd hate to be one of those infrequent journallers who only pops in with dramatic announcements and then vanishes for months upon months more. We'll see.

kindness, spring, love
