Day 6 - 145 -- Giddiness Abounds

An amazing warm sunny day today. I headed out to put gas in the car and get groceries and such. It was lovely outside and inside everyone seemed to be in a good  mood, including me. <smile>. I encountered two situations that made me smile more. While waiting at the customer service desk for a rain check, the fellow in front of me was getting two large mylar balloons -- a very large Hot Wheels one with a large number 3. He also got some paper towels and 3 or 4 bags of chips. I'm sure that will be a fun party. At the bakery (in a convenience store), there were three little boys about 4 or 5 with a man. He was trying to get them out of the store. They'd discovered that the ice cream cone section had opened for the season. They ran and danced since they were so excited -- polite in asking, but excitement could not be concealed. As I left the man had conceded and was now getting them cones before they drove 'back down the hill.' 

Sunshine enables happy feelings. Spring here is filled with greyness and rain -- not bad days, but few glimpses of sun, moon or starts. Today temperatures rose higher than they have been in 2019. That coupled with the bright sun and blue sky seemed to cause giddy behaviour in people of all ages. It gave us hope for warmer days ahead despite the frost warnings in many overnights.

Appropriate lyrics for a day such as this belong to a wonderful song from an iconic band. This version is sung by one of the former band members and another singer-songwriter. Their voices work well together, especially in this acoustic performance. There are two songs in this video; the first is the one chosen for the thoughts of the day. The second song is lovely, too. Enjoy!
