I love that feeling
of getting in the car
after a long day
closing the door
absorbing the warmth of the sun
slowly relaxing and melting into the seat.

apricity – the warmth of the sun in the winter.
this term comes from the latin meaning “to bask in the sun.”

while spending the better part of a morning
at the salon
and at the having my hair washed stage
a woman I’ve never met
hair in foil for highlights
wrapped in a black robe
walked up
and stood before me pointing
then proclaiming,
to the entire salon:
“now here is a woman who is contented and relaxed,
taking 10 minutes, all for herself!”
something about my demeanor
must have given me away
for she was spot on.
