every day when i go in to work, i walk around the front of the school. most staff members go in the back or side doors but i always walk in the main front doors. right now that means that i have to walk through piles of snow and slush on a sort-of path that may or may not be clear depending on the day. but i still do it every day. i start work at 12:30, so when i show up around 12:15, i walk from the parking lot in the shadow of the side of the school. but there's this one point, as i turn the corner, i step over this imaginary line and into the sun, and it's beautiful. and the sun hits my face and it's the best feeling ever...an instant good mood. i wish i could bottle it or something.
