Solitude


This looks mighty fine right about now. Me, a chair and miles of ocean.

My mind woke up this morning energized. I opened my eyes and the clock said 4 A.M. 4 AM!!!! Go back to sleep! Back to sleep! I laid there with my eyes closed for a good hour and a half. My mind unwilling to settle down and my eyes screaming for more rest. I gave up the battle and made some coffee and sat at the computer.

My quick glance at the Yahoo news page didn't spark too many synapses in my awareness. I did however learn that Denmark is the happiest country according to a survey that began in 1981. The U.S. is the 16th. In general, the survey says the world is getting happier. I don't see how this possibly is.... although, I only see in terms of this country. Unless the world is just a bunch of liars and I like to think that is not true.

I am still the only one awake in this house. It's kind of nice actually. Even the cat is still peacefully in his slumber.

Gas prices went back up 10 cents a gallon. Hmmm conveniently around a holiday!! These convenient hikes don't convince me of a shortage. Nope, I'm not convinced! :)

Nothing new to report for the 4th weekend. Just go with the flow is the plan.

Hope everyone's day is fantastic!!!
