Meme-thing

I'm bored and incredibly flat and feeling like all I can see is the negative in things today. So, in an effort to pull myself out of that, here's the challenge:

Tell me something positive about your life. Today, yesterday, the past week, something you like about yourself, something you saw, heard, read or watched. Post in the comments here or post in your own journal.

Anyone who says anything along the lines of "I can't think of anything because my life sucks!" will be smited. There's always something, even if it's the fact that today it's sunny in Toronto, clear and crisp and I'm planning to go get a veggie hot dog from the vendor outside my building and sit in the sun and read Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors for a while.

I also finished my outstanding filing.

My mum went to a funeral on Tuesday, for a relative I never knew existed. She asked and I agreed to do the office cleaning job she had for her as there'd be no way she'd make it there and get things done in a timely fashion.

Tuesday came, work was hellish, the rain was bitter and cold and the offices were their usual mess. But when I was done, though it took me hours and I was on my own, night had set in and the skies had cleared. It wasn't cold, and I walked home content that I had done a good deed for my mum.

I looked up at the sky and saw constellations I hadn't seen in forever, because when do people ever look at the sky just to look any more? And when I was mapping the stars to 'draw' Orion's Belt in my mind's eye, a shooting star shot across the dark.


..That left me smiling and feeling rather content for the rest of the night. :)
