Floating

Today, is an odd day, for it might be the first day that I've realized that I've been floating.  It's hard to describe what it feels like, because it seems like all your senses are working all at once, but they stop functioning at all.  Drifting away on a sea, not knowing where I'm going next.  Although I feel like I should be worried about what's going to happen next, I'm not, because I'm enjoying where I'm at.  Everything is imperfect, but in it's own way... that's what makes it so perfect.  I've been sitting on the back-burner for sometime now, but I think this might be the last day I float.  Now, I need to float into a cloud of productivity.  It's amazing what a few good songs and just a little alone time can do.  

Piece of advice for today...
    Don't stress too much, it does no-one any good.  Especially yourself.  And enjoy this day.  It's been beautifully made just for you.  Although I do believe that's two pieces of advice.
