Lying Under Blue Bird Skies, Staring Into Ocean Eyes

Well well it's Monday and it has been quite a splendid Labor Day I must say. Hooray for long weekends and Mondays off. In the past, I can't remember a Labor Day that I didn't spend with my family, doing the traditional barbeque, picnic thing. This one was different. Because my parents were away on a mini holiday, we didn't really have any family around to celebrate with, so Al, Keane and I took off for the day with no certain plans and just spent some good old fashion time with one another driving to wherever we felt lead to. Even though it was nothing fancy, it was perfect...it was what we needed. In our humble little expedition, we stopped by a lovely park that overlooks the Susquehanna river and capitol city of Harrisburg. The sky was the perfect shade of blue, the air was sweet and breezy, and the sounds of Native American music from a nearby festival played in the background. It's nice sometimes to not have to go overboard with celebration, but to just enjoy the simple pleasures of life that we have been blessed with. I wish more days were like this.
