Reed Ruddy L of the S Mythic Landscapes

"I remember the day as one of the most graced and gifted of my life."(96, Lane). I really liked this line while reading through Mythic Landscapes chapter. For some reason or another I kept coming back to it and reading it over again. Perhaps it was because I was just in a really good mood, or maybe it was because I was questioning whether or not I had ever truly felt that way about a particular day. I decided after some contemplation that I had experienced a day like that and it occurred about a week and a half ago. I woke up and it was an incredible day not only because of the weather, but also because I was well rested and energetic despite a previous night of late night shenanigans. I proceeded to get dressed and went to my first class and really enjoyed the walk over. While in class my good friend Nick Ayers texted me and insisted I go to the beach with him after my class. We went and got lunch and got our friends Andy, Whitney, and Danielle to go with us to Huntington beach where we enjoyed an awesome day on the beach in the sun. The beach was perfect conditions and we had the whole place to ourselves thanks to a brief overcast prior to our arrival. After the day hanging out and listening to music on the beach we went and got sushi and then my last class of the day was cancelled. I don't think I had a negative thought all day and I really enjoyed life to the fullest thanks to my lack of care for what I should be doing or what I needed to accomplish in the future.
