Exuberant Dork

Maybe it’s the sunshine…
Maybe cuz it’s Friday…
Maybe it’s the snazzy new shirt my Mom sent me…
Maybe cuz I ran into a friend on the street coming into the office…
Maybe it’s the double cappuccino…
Maybe cuz I connected with old and new pals on Facebook…
Maybe it’s an early morning conversation with a colleague in Beijing…
Maybe cuz I’m anticipating Baby Daisy’s birth…
Maybe it’s knowing that about a week from now Catherine will be visiting…
Maybe cuz I’m excited to serve the City…
Maybe it’s remembering that I’m more messed up than imaginable, but more loved than I’ll ever know…

It is like I’m on a rollercoaster having just crept up the first hill…and now I’m sitting at the top with my arms up in the air and butterflies in my stomach—feeling exhilarated about the ride to come.
