A Weekend of Opposites

My "Study" Zone

Now I fully acknowledge that the contents of this post will seem quite odd considering it's following a post about the glories of Fall. If anything, you should take it as a prime indicator of the quirky weather San Diego seems to thrive on. So, I opted to get some studying done on Saturday in an attempt to hold off the onslaught of reading I had waiting for me. Well where is a red blooded, San Diegian transplant to go to get this reading done, I ask you? To her backyard to sunbathe obviously! Of course, this particular study/tan combination was rather light on the whole study aspect, but I believe the effort was there. Which is really what counts after all! As I was soaking up the warm rays and listening to the sounds of the outdoors, I realized how little time I spend outside. Which seems so sad considering how just breathing in the fresh air immediately put me in a better mood. I've decided I'm going to make the effort to enjoy the outdoors more. In typical Brittany fashion, this is rather unfortunate timing for such a declaration seeing as colder weather is on its way, but I will prevail. I remain committed.

A Pretty Nice View Considering It's Studying

Coming off of that delightful re-acquaintance with the sun on Saturday I was prepared for another get together on Sunday. But nay. I became greedy and Mother Nature was not having it. I was greeted on Sunday with a rather gloomy, grey outlook. Now we are not talking a thunderstorm, or even particularly cold, but I immediately switched into Winter-mode. Tights and boots all the way! I even almost swaddled myself in a scarf, but I thought that might be considered too far. I did commit to a cup of Swiss mocha though, some things can't be compromised. It was wonderful! It's as if I got the perfect combination of Summer/Fall weather packaged neatly into one weekend. I feel quite lucky actually.

First Day of Tights!

 
From this lovely weekend, we move into today. I just want to share a nice smile-worthy incident from this Monday with you. I help at an activity center for older adults a few days a week, helping them learn the computer. Today I was giving a beautiful origami flower by one of the members who is starting a learning origami class. I was so touched that she wanted me to have it and it just brightened my day. So this was my Smile Moment of the day, what was yours? Did anything, either simple or momentous, happen to you today that made you smile to yourself?
