Three things that have been beautiful today

1.
I wish I could say this was some fabulous friend of mine, or better yet, me. But it is not. Still, never mind. She has made me happy, whoever she is; and she has made me wish desparately for her hair. She has made my mind up, too. I am dying mine tomorrow. I think.

I sat and listened to Laura Marling sing and I thought, 'this, this is what it sounds like to be beautiful. I heard strength. And I imagined her smiling through nostalgia and tears.




3.

Third on my list is a feeling. I was at my desk at work, wandering around in my mind as I tend to do now and again, feeling sorry for myself because my current bout of flu will not relinquish its hold on my body, however many lemsips I drink - in short, I was wallowing - and a ray of pure spring sunshine fell on me. My head was bent and the strands of my hair that had fallen forward glinted like metal does. I smiled a big smile because it didn't seem accidental; it seemed like someone somewhere knew I needed springtime, if only for a minute.
