It's all how you look at it..

For the past week it's been dark, cold and unbelievably rainy here. I was reminded much of the Pacific Northwest! And today, as I stepped out.. it was clear, crisp, and gloriously sunny. It was amazing.

You know, one of those days where the air fills your lungs, the sun makes you tingle and everything just seems right with the world??? Yeah, one of those days.

As I drove back to Eagan today, I was so completely taken by the scenery. I felt so serene and at ease. I stopped a couple times for a shot or two with the camera. I love fall. I love the quick change. It was reminding me of my own life of late. I have had so much on my mind the past 6 weeks. And a lot of it seems so much easier or insignificant now. Or maybe 'in perspective' is a better term. It's funny how a twist of fate, an event, a person can do so much for your outlook.

And to top it off.. my friend, Jeremy, had a set of IKEA-ware waiting for me when I got home! I am THRILLED :) Don't worry...it's something only Jer and I are suppose to get! So it's ok if you don't understand my enthusiasm. Thanks, Jeremy! Not just for the gift, but all the help you lent this weekend. But that plasticware...superb!
