Falling in Love with Life, all over again

Sunday mornings. I woke up to a beautiful Sunday morning, packed up some readings and my new Asus EEE, and walked to the nearest coffeeshop, Starbucks. Sitting here with a pen and paper, catching up with reading assignments at my leisure, not a further care in the world. In my bag, also Italo Calvo's If on a Winter's Night Traveler. A wonderful Friday spent with a good friend shopping at a bookstore, watching a movie. A cultural Saturday spent with new people, going to see Madame Tussaud's. A wonderful Sunday, spent by myself to contemplate about life and with not much of a care in the world. Things to be done, yet it will be done in due time.

Finally caught up with friends, updated on their life. Sure, people ask me what I have been doing, and I say busy. Finally the busy world has subsided a little bit, at least until Monday comes again. But I have been in control of time. Previously my mentality has sirened "busy! busy! busy!", up until now. With Glasgow a success, more work piled on, yet I am calm. Relaxed, smiling. I can handle it all.
