"Window of Emotions"

          “Okay, then I’ll pick you up around seven on Friday…sounds great…see ya’ then…bye!” I hung up the telephone and quickly caught my breath. Lindsay, the object of my amorous pursuits for over six months had finally agreed to go out with me!

The breeze led my eyes in another direction. A group of children were playing in the street with a brightly-colored rubber ball. The ball’s frivolous motions about the street made my soul absolutely giddy. The stretch of street itself, paralleling the path of life, reached up toward the sky as it curved around the bend. The light, cotton-candy-shaped clouds happily greeted the road with gentle touches and then continued on their merry ways.

The view from my window at that moment brought me, in that instant, the greatest joy I’d ever imagined.
