Instead of choosing clothes in advance, I choose to pick my outfit after waking up. Such serendipity struck me today when I picked a pink jacket, a black top with pearls on the collar and a long black leather skirt. From the random stranger who complimented me in the bathroom to acquaintances and friends… the final compliment of the day was “you look like a celebrity”. Not a bad day for a 42 year old. 

After a month of rain, we finally had some Madrid weather. The sun shone bright and warm and the joy of a sunny day spread through the people like a welcome virus. So many people walking, smiling, enjoying themselves. Hope we have a few more days of this in store for us. 

Came home to a pizza in the garden and two delighted dogs who couldn’t stop sunning themselves between plaguing us for snakies. The garden was filled with blooms and the grass was  a lush carpet of green. Birds filled the day with their song. And our hearts filled with joy. All is well with the world.
