The beauty of life part 2

You know it only takes fractions of seconds to discover the beauty of life when it passes you by. You have surely seen that in my earlier posts. So from what direction is the wind blowing today, you might ask? I'll tell you. This day - or actually a whole week of it - has been great. I've been moving through the bad stuff like a drunk. Closing my eyes to it - why block the sun when it's out again?

I'll tell you about the beauty of life. Again. Part 2.

On Saturday morning I was making my way home from an excellent night out with my crew. It was half past three in the morning and the sun was still up, it looked like half past three in the afternoon. It coloured the city beautifully! And as I enjoyed my walk in my suede boots, I got accompanied (I'm still quite sure it was the boots) by someone I'd never met before, but a nice new acquaintance. Chatting away about this and that, laughing because of the late hour, the marvelously beautiful sky and the sun that never set that night. That is the beauty of life, part 2, lesson 1.

On Saturday evening the total coincidence occurred: I met my new acquaintance again. A few more minutes of chatter and laughter. Beauty of life, part 2, lesson 1b.

On Monday evening it was hot like no day before. I was unsure, but I finally came to my decision: Yes, regardless of the heat I would enjoy a good hour of salsa. And wow! Was I happy to have made that decision or what?? We were awesome, me and my partner, we were like two flamingos on that dance floor! The evening was hot but so were we. Sometimes I wish one really could see oneself when in one's true element. I'd like to know whether I look the way I feel - filled to the maximum with pure joy! Beauty of life, part 2, lesson 2.

Today: Yet another hot day and a not too inspiring one at the office. I decided to head for a nice cup of coffee after work. It didn't take too long before I again was accompanied by a fellow world-citizen. Two hours of exchanging thoughts about culture, politics, travelling, work, tipping. You name it, we covered it. It was refreshing and enlightening in many ways. Beauty of life, part 2, lesson 3.

Then later on in the evening, great to meet up with some friends at the gym, I had an excellent workout and now I feel the beauty of life in both body and soul. Beauty of life, part 2, lesson 4.

I thought it would stop there, but then I read this post and realized that shiny happy people spread joy the best :) And that's the beauty of life part 2, lesson 5.

So enjoy life today, here's a cookie for everyone!
