small favors

Fortune and coincidence provided me with a small moment of grace this morning as I drove in to work. I drive up into the foothills and was just ahead of the sunrise. Enough of the edge of the sun was coming up to see it over the hills, but not so much that I had to put on sunglasses or throw down the shade. As I drove uphill the angle stayed pretty much the same, and during the drive the radio was playing "Say Hello to Heaven" by Temple of the Dog and "Amber" by 311. Wiped away the anxiety of the dreaded Monday morning.
