It's a wonderfully beautiful afternoon here in the south loop and for reasons I cannot explain I can't seem to stop smiling. There is much I should be doing, with it being midterms and all, but I am simply far too content gazing out my windows while the b-ling b-ling b-ling of Yonder Mountain String Band's banjos float into my ears. You have just got to love the banjo.
Looking out the window has become one of my new favorite things to do. It is something that I picked up from the little boy that I babysit. Each day I sit him on the window sill ledge and we just stare at the world going by. He gets so excited when he sees a flock of pigeons fly by or when I dog runs across the street. The littlest things make him laugh a laugh that is so uncontrollable and so unexplainable, which sends me into a fit of laughter to the point where I think I might pee my pants. Being around someone who is 18 months a few days a week will definitely change your perspective on life.
Now instead of watching t.v. or reading or knitting or doing homework I find myself looking out the window...a lot. It's so simple, but I love it.
