I am totally and utterly exhausted. I can barely type, my eyes are on half/mast and yet, I feel strangely happy.
You know when you feel so happy that it actually brings you peace?
That happy.
It was a beautiful day, not so much weather-wise since it was a bit cloudy, but those little events that happen during the day and are called Life, were so simple...and so wonderful.
My wife and I went to a secondhand bookstore to check out some books for our daughter, ended up buying a whole bunch for her and us. Found a beautiful special edition of Umberto Eco`s The Name of the Rose, that was my main score.
While we were walking to the store, we were actually gossiping.
GASP! I know, you never do that, how could you, oh you people of clean and pure hearts...
But I was gossiping in some funny way, I don`t know, I was just goofing around, pretending that this and that really bothered me, sometimes I would almost kneel on the street just to show her how deeply was I disturbed by some events and somebody`s action, when, in reality, I didn`t care at all.
I just wanted to make her laugh, and make her laugh I did. Oh, how she laughed...
I felt like she fell in love with me all over again this afternoon. No, she didn`t say it, no she didn`t do anything special, but I felt it, I saw it in her eyes, her hand just briefly touching mine and how the tone of her voice changed. And let me tell you, that is one magical feeling when that happens again, even after 13 years of being together.
In the evening, I brought our kid to a one hour dancing lesson, she is just starting. Oh, the excitement, the joy of a kids heart while we were getting ready to leave, it was like the air around me was filled with electricity. The good kind, though.
And then when I picked her up when it was over, the torrents of words from her little soul, how much she liked it, how she learned some cool moves, the little swirl she did on the street for me so Daddy can see what she learned....
She said her legs were tired, so I picked her up in my arms and carried her the rest of the way home, and still she was talking, and laughing and her hair was a little damp from sweat and how it smelled...and I was smiling one of those silent, happy smiles that don`t come to often. But when they do show up, they leave a not erasable imprint in your mind and soul...
And here I am, tired beyond everything, cause there was also this little thing called work in the mix and it`s still cloudy outside...
But I`m basking in sunlight...and the glorious feeling of being a happy man...
And how was your day, in fact, how was your weekend, my dear friends?
