Even though I'm often pessimistic about everything in general, I can't really see today as anything other than wonderful. Even though saying good-bye to my mom was a bit painful, as soon as I saw her pass security (I swear it looked like I was her father), I got an email from you-know-who and my heart skipped a beat. The email was as sweet as it gets and as soon as I started reading it my face lit up and I had a smile that went all the way back behind my ears. I hummed and skipped my way back to the airport exit and just when I thought I wouldn't be able to find a cab, one pulled up just in front of me...I guess Murphy's took Labor Day one day later.
Even though I was cheerful and in an extremely romantic mood, I still had my doubts as to what this new city and life had in store for me. Right when these doubts started to tease my mind and threaten with replacing the wonderful mood I was in before, the cab driver asked me to sit up front with him. I never knew Jiminy Cricket could take on the shape of a six-foot-five black haitian cab driver. It was one of the best cab rides I've ever had. We talked all the way through it and the man managed to completely erase any trace of doubt from my mind: I was going to have a great time: period.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring, but today, I'm positive that life is good.
