I had today off work because I’m working Saturday this week, and they give you a weekday off to compensate. Of course this means I won’t have a proper weekend until the 30th, but ah well. XD
This afternoon, after I took my shower, I heard a sound I hadn’t heard in a long time. It was a sound I didn’t immediately recognize, and I walked into the living room to try and pinpoint where it was coming from. I realized that there was a dove sitting on my windowsill on the side of the house, cooing. I slowly moved the blinds away and peaked out at it, mere inches and a pane of glass separating us. It was gray, with speckles, and it continued cooing while I watched. When it saw me, it tried to hide in the ivy that grows on that side of the building, and then it flew away. It came back later, though, I heard it cooing while I was cleaning the living room. So that was my piece of “ah, life is beautiful” for today.
