stunningly beautiful day

I look like my mom. a lot like her. i have her grace and sense of rhythm. and her sarcastic sense of humor. today though, i felt like my dad. my dad loves his life, and it is infectious. he is giddy in his enjoyment of simple things. i got that from him. today i found myself talking to a stranger and gently arguing with her about the fact there is no better place to be than here. my dad does that. but it truly was a spectacular day!
