3 lovely things
1. The glassy surface on the Hudson River between incoming and outgoing tides is so startling even though we see it fairly often. Trees and structures on the other side of the river are reflected like a painting or like that fantastic K-Mart advertisement after 9-11 that showed the towers as reflections in the river . . . but absent from the shoreline.
2. In the elevator this morning an office acquaintance asked if I had any new photos of t2cgitw and when I said yes she got off at my floor to come look at them. Generous interest in others is rare and surprising and appreciated. I must learn to do it more because I am actually interested but often worry that it will annoy people when, in fact, I know quite the opposite from my own experience.
3. Sitting on my front porch on my slatted porch swing on a sunny day, looking at the bright green leaves and the blue sky beyond, waving at people as they walked by and waved and smiled. . . .
