I got off the bus several blocks early this afternoon. There's puffy white clouds in the sky, the sun is shining, birds are singing, etc. About halfway home, I came upon a mulberry tree that just happens to have ripe fruit on it. I stopped dead in my tracks, kinda looked around to see if the homeowners were going to come out brandishing a broom to keep me away from their tree, even though I wasn't even trespassing because I stayed standing on the sidewalk. *deep breath* I stood there for a couple of minutes picking and nibbling on berries. I ended up picking a handful to munch the rest of my way home. This just made my day go from "m'eh" to "ectatic happiness"!! *giggling happy bounciness* So my hands, lips, and tongue are stained purple...had I stayed by the tree any longer, my teeth would be colored, too!

I've been called a hedonist. I've never denied this. The thing you've got to remember is that it's not just luxurious or sexual pleasure that drives me. The joy of finding this tree is enough to make my day improve by at least three orders of magnitude.

I'm gonna go bounce off the walls for a while. Anyone wanna go out tonight? *grinning dancing exuberant euphoria*
