...to the beauty of this earth. As I was walking between Ali and Louise's houses today, (with my handy-dandy post-it in hand in case I got lost...lol) I stopped and closed my eyes for a bit, feeling the warm breeze on my back, the sun on my shoulders... As I walked, eyes closed, on the sidewalk path down Angela, my other senses kicked in. I felt the warm, smooth pavement beneath my feet, the sun warming my face, my gym bag bouncing against my legs, the straps of my backpack clinging to my shoulders...

And I opened my eyes, as if it was for the first time, and I thought, "This is beautiful." If I was blind, this image would certainly be blurred by tears within a matter of seconds. Slightly squinting into the sun, I saw green trees, swaying in the breeze. I saw neatly-trimmed yards, full of green grass and landscaped flower beds. I saw a newly paved road, soaking up the sun.

It was beautiful.

Um, I'm glad you understand the sheer beauty of Angela Street. Lol. I'm glad you enjoyed your ecosystem while on your way to Bio Fun. lol.
Btw, is this the royal "we" you speak of? I thought Angela was a nice street. Esp on Fridays. When I could just walk slowly with nothing on my agenda except goofing off. :-P
