Walking on Sunshine

It’s official…I LOVE my life! Not the yeah I had a good day kind of love, but the head over heels, completely twitterpeated, can’t stop grinning goofishly kind of love. I literally feel like I’m walking on clouds, and I have that “Mr. Bluebird’s on my shoulder” song looping through my head. I never knew that was possible. At first I was terrified that I was experiencing an extreme mood swing, which is terrifying because those swings go both ways…..but….after a couple of months it’s kind of becoming a habit.

Let’s look at work. I had the best day at work today.
-Settled in
-had a group pickup supplies for a cleanup of Town Lake
-looked at options for displaying recycled material with Monica
-had a group bring back some tools they’d borrowed and thank us for being so easy to work with
-got asked for advice about the Longhorn Recycle Roundup by Monica (which is really cool because I respect her work and opinons so much and it’s nice to know she thinks the same way)
-went to our Tool Shack to help a group that was returning recycling bins they’d borrowed for the Austin Ice Cream Festival and she said “I’m so excited by all you guys do!”
-took the office recycling by Ecology-Action
-met a new Adopt-a-Creek group at their creek segment (which was out of this world gorgeous for being hidden in a housing subdivision, maidenhair fern, dragonflies, waterfalls…beauuuutiful) -had an entire church youth group cram themselves into our office to thank us for helping them with their cleanup.
How cool is that?! Yeah, yeah…there was also a lot of paper shuffling and answering the same questions again and again, but really…isn’t that a fantabulous day?

Now I’m off for a run with my co-worker, home to grab my bike, cycle to Zilker Park, Blues on the Green/dancing in front of the stage, and then to wrap it all up…night swim at Barton Springs. I’ll be grinning goofishly the whole time.
