Song of the Day - Leona Naess

I'm thinking too much tonight - and too little is making sense. One thing I can say for myself is I may not know what I want, but I do know what I don't. In the meantime, until what I want becomes more clear to me, I'm quite content with my simple little life, with its simple little pleasures. Like the Blue Bottle coffee kiosk down the street from my house that brings me such joy, followed by a 2pm breakfast with an ample helping of girl talk, which is then followed by a cozy Sunday afternoon nap....

This song is a special dedication to the person with whom I share so many of these simple joys - the one who reminds me that the troubled feelings I have at times are just a part of the intrinsic beauty of being alive. I am sorely imperfect and emotionally complex, but this is what makes me human, and there's much beauty to be discovered in that humanness. Thank you, Arthur, for helping me to not only recognize that, but revel in it.
