As I watch through the comfort of the screen, I do the math, and realize that for the past few years I’ve avoided the effects of all major storms. The snow, rain, wind, and tears that come with blizzards, hurricanes, cyclones, and heartbreaks.

To stay warm and dry, I’ve moved around, never too close, never for too long.

Today, I saw my reflection on the screen and a pale color on my skin…is it maybe that sunshine, real sunshine only comes after you’ve felt the storm?

I start my day with a small plate of scrambled happiness, seasoned by night dreams and daydreams and by the expectation of the day and the night to come.

Bite by bite, it fills my body, bite by bite it fuels my soul, bite by bite... today,  I savor happiness.

A pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to spice it up, a tad of butter and a furtive smile to make the day shine.
