(no subject)

I take a mild and curiously expansive pleasure in being able to arrive home at 8pm, make a simple but agreeable dinner (poached salmon and steamed fresh carrots and broccoli, with McVitie's digestives and tea for afters), and relax on the couch with a DVD, a couple of cats, and the cool, dark night, with a comfortable bed and a trashy novel (a birthday gift from a kind friend) before sleep in prospect.

I also appreciate that, while my commute can sometimes be tiresomely long, I pass back and forth every day, at different locations, over the Potomac River Gorge, the home to hundreds of wild creatures and thousands of different plant species. The day is rare that I don't see a great blue heron, or several, as I drive to or from work.

I know I worry and fret and chafe at all the things in my life that aren't the way I would like them to be. So it bears remarking that there are an awful lot of things that are simply wonderful about it. :-)
