Blue sky, sunshine

The first of October has been everything the first of October should be, I think. Sunshine, blue sky, a chilly-ish breeze. Occasional cloudy moments.

Someone said something today about remembering this kind of day when it's cold and dark and gloomy . . . and I thought about how often these beautiful days actually do come around. There have been so many days already this year when I've thought or said to someone: "the weather is so perfect." But every new perfect day is just as amazing . . . I never think to myself, "well, I've seen this before. BOR-ING." Every time it happens, it's like a little surprise.

And so, in January, I plan to remember October and hope for April.
