Like homemade granola for breakfast. Triscuits, sharp cheddar and fresh pineapple for lunch. A three-day weekend. Music that sounds like everything you love about the South. Bourbon slushies and late-night giggles. A friend’s small good fortune. A gulp of cold water. The bouganvillea in my front yard. For one day, ignoring all the minutia you should be worrying about and enjoying the company of people you love who live far away.
Just a few simple things that have made me smile today. Happy weekend! How was your day?
