Heat Wave.

I'm of two minds with all this summer heat. It takes me forever to be able to feel comfortable, because I'm just not made for the heat, (as if the pale skin didn't give away my lack of interaction with the sun) but I really do like the summer mornings and evenings. The coolness over my body is the exterior equivalent of a drink of water, it teaches me to appreciate comfort and sweet things more. So I've made a decision to take the time to enjoy more. To really enjoy. Drink luxury in, even in the smallest amounts.
So now thanks to my little ephinony i savor my lotion,first onin morning and the night, appreciating the feel of my skin drinking in the moisture. When I make a drink I take the time to put in little splashes of flavor to try new ones. I'll admit that while it's a bit 'hipster' of me I do love my vape, (no there's no drugs in it) and now I have fun playing with the smoke in the air as it floats away. Music is more beautiful, food has more taste.
In The Count of Monte Cristo Edmond has the best breakfast of his life the day he believes his life will end in a duel with young Morcef and after he lives he realizes he should live everyday that way. To the fullest. To really drink it in, all these little things we look over that are the tiny strings that make up our life.
I realize while my awakening pales in comparison to Dantes, it's real. I've always known I enjoy being sensual, radiating it. What I didn't really get until this heat wave is how sensual so many things  can be. A cool bath. I pear liquor. My hair after I brush it at night. The softness of my feet rubbing against the fabric on the couch. Suddenly I went from  loving life, to sort of.. being in love with it. Knowing it loves me  back. I feel.. heightened. This new ignition has opened a new door for me and I can't wait to see where it takes me. What I do know is that I'm looking forward to it, because it's going to be amazing.
