I believe...

Discoveries:
It's 10:00am, I've had breakfast in bed, I'm still there caressed by the softness of my pillows, I have surfed the web and accomplished so much digitally. Norah Jones song Sunrise is playing in the background. I have plans for today but I'm in no hurry. What is it about lazy weekend mornings that appeals to us so heavily. During the week we are all running and gunning trying to get ahead in life but for a moment, just one moment, do me a favor and relax.

High Points:
I saw Savion Glover perform and it was amazing to say the least. He has loved tap for as long as he has been alive and his passion is evident in his fervent performance complete with percussionist undertones and vibrant movement. Packing the Dallas Symphony Orchestra's main hall, on a Sunday night for a one-night only performance demonstrates his impact on pop culture. Even Gregory Hines said that Savion would become the best and he has. I also spent my second week at work learning the ropes and doing all the things many won't to uncover an advantage and position myself as the next big thing (at least in my circle). More to come on that later... I feel it even though it's hasn't physically touched me, I hear it even though it can't speak, I want it even though it's forbidden, I'm hungry for it even though I've already eaten. I miss it despite the fact that it never left, I need it even more than it needs me. It makes me smile even when I'm sad. I believe in love

Low Points:
I realized that I'm not perfect but I'm damn close. Just kidding, we all make mistakes and today, after 31 years of life, I realize it's okay to make mistakes. It means I'm a human being. Besides, perfect is fallacy.

Question
How do you know when you're in love?
