This has been a most unusual morning.
On a standard morning my alarm clock brings feelings of great resentment and a muttered stream of carefully calculated obscenities. Today went in a new direction. First of all, I woke up a few minutes before my alarm clock which can only mean that for once in my life I am fully rested and prepared for my day. Not only that, but it is May 1. The first day of a new month. And I remembered to say "rabbit, rabbit". Now when it comes down to it I wouldn't say that I believe in luck at all, nor am I even slightly superstitious...but when I remember to say "rabbit, rabbit" before talking to anyone else on the first day of each month I swear that the next 30 days turn out just a little bit better then the months I don't. Perhaps the memory of promised good fortune stays in the back of my mind and leaves me feeling slightly more optimistic for that month. Or perhaps I'm simply imagining the whole thing and repeating the name of a soft furry animal has absolutely no correlation to the natural ups and downs of life. All I know is that today is off to a great start. The sun is shining bright with the heat offset only by a strong spring breeze, and I am not at all worried about the exorbitant amount of homework I have yet to accomplish in the few hours before I go into work. I have my coffee in my hand and beautiful blooming flowers surrounding my while I soak up a few rays in an attempt to blend my awful tan line.
What more could I want?
