the simple pleasures of life are the ones to recognize and embrace. today was nearly perfect. i have been working on music that must be finalized this week. the sun was out. it helped me stay focused and calm. birds sat on the ground and spread their wings basking in the sun. squirrels put on a lively acrobatic show for me by the front porch. i love the oncoming spring season and am happy that i will be back from europe in time to enjoy it.
