Sick day count # 4. It's been hard sitting around doing nothing but at the same time it's given me a chance to think about my direction. Hence signing up for premium service here on DA and about time too! To think I've been missing out all these extra services (i.e. portfolio) all these years. Now I can really start pursuing this goal I've set to achieve.

Meanwhile, laying on my back in the backyard today soaking up some good old fashion vitamin D, I couldn't help but notice the beauty that surrounded me. The magnolia tree foliage above my head, the bees buzzing around. The new needles on the pine tree and the tiny flakes of fluff that's floating around in the air... it literally took my breath away. Okay, maybe it was that my nose is still clogged up and I can't breathe properly, but regardless... it was a beautiful moment. That's when the Sublime's song came into my head:

Well life is too short, so love the one you got
Cause you might get run over or you might get - shot
Never start no static, I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bullet proof vest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it up to charity
Love's what I got, is within my reach, and
The sublime style still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you, you bound to get what you deserve
Try and test that, you're bound to get served
Love's what I got, don't start a riot
You'll feel it when the dance gets hot


And I smile.
