Baby it's Warm Outside!

The weather is becoming warm again. I like the change. I like the sunshine. I have a pretty high tolerance for heat, which I can only assume comes from being raised in the desert. My mother says that my tolerance will become lower as I age, so I guess I should enjoy the heat while I can.

With flowers blooming, and the sun shinning warm on my face, I can’t help but feel my personal brand of cautious hope. Despite my typical tendency to be pessimistic, I find myself swinging dangerously close to optimism as of late. It is strange feeling comfortable in my own skin because self doubt and insecurity in the past been such steadfast companions.

Now am not saying that I am ready to hang up my negativity hat for good. I know myself too well for that. I am aware that I have lots to deal with in the next weeks, and I will have plenty of opportunity to beat myself up, should I give into it. 

But for the moment, I am happy. We finished a successful run of THE MILKMAN, the first time something I wrote was produced (so exciting). I have a loving family and great friends, both new and old who fill my life with more pleasure than a person has a right too. There are some opportunities on the horizon that look promising which is always exciting.

And most important the sun has been shinning!!!

Who knows what the next days will bring. But right now, in the moment I am happy, and I will choose to embrace and honor that.
