Woke up this morning to a dark, dreary, and rainy "Spring" morning. Was expecting the lousy week to continue, especially after figuring out that I owe a whole bunch of hundreds of dollars on my taxes (it's good; I don't mind paying them, but ouch). However, on the train into the city, I decided to be open-minded about the possibilities. After all, any Friday is usually a good day, so who knew what could happen?
After one large delicious cup of coffee, the morning was already starting to look up. My third product demo at work was ready to go with only a minor tweak to make it pretty damned good. I figured out the LDAP problem that's been bugging me all week (failed post-install script...argh...should have written the installer myself), and think I have a solution. The demo went well. I caught up on some of my backlog. Throughout the day, I cheered as I watched a series of updates about how President Obama's administration went to town on the banksters. But, best of all, someone very special to me told me about some joyous news she received.
And then, Friday's work was done, and I was on the train home, listening to some great indie rock on my iPod with a smile on my face. Good stuff, indeed. What could be better?
Oh, I don't know. How about another perfect panini and a cold Fisherman's Bavarian Wheat?
Yeah. Life is grand. Hope your Friday was a good one, too.

Yes, life is grand, and even more so when one realizes just how fleeting it is and how lucky we are to be alive. Each moment - whether it's a perfect sandwich, a warm kiss, or even a time of personal darkness - you won't get that moment again. Ever. So savor the present for what it is. Because, really, it's all we have and all we can be certain of. What are you doing now? What are you feeling? Be in that. Now.
