Gladness
Lately I've been feeling giddy, end-of-the-year vibes from waking up to intense, fall-colored mornings, brought about by longer nights that pamper the body with overly sticky sleep, the kind that needs a warm cup of something sweet and nurturing to help disengage from it.
I think I'm feeling Christmasy already because the days are beginning to take on a wonderful, whimsical attribute, and I seem to smell the roasting of chestnuts more frequently now, that for some reason, bring about a feeling of relief.
Relief, absolutely, for daughters who are luxuriantly, lazily maxing their sembreaks.
Relief from inclement weather, even jags of indian summer, because even if the whole system seems to be screwed up all around, we know that there's more likelihood for this time of year to yield gentler, kinder temperature around these parts.
Relief, by way of clearer skies, from the strange haze that had been blanketing the city for the past many weeks, which, regretfully is more smog than fog.
Relief, thankfully from asthma (probably brought about by the haze) that had bothered for a whole, insufferable month that had finally let-up.
Relief that right after Halloween, I get to bring out the christmas tree, my precious, again.
It's all about having winged the better part of the year, regardless of storms, insane gas-prices, and aggregated little heartbreaks that are evened-out by laughter and gladness brought about by small everyday victories.
It's also all about finding that after you kept tabs of everything, you end up ahead with more of the winning days than the losing ones.
Most of all is relief that you see things as they are and find lots to smile about. Again, I am ever so thankful.
