Missed the bus out to the valley this morning (boooo!)

so I had the day to chill at the beach (yayyy~).

So I found a bench to relax on, people watching, and whatnot.

As I'm deep in my creeper-concentration, some guy

give me a thumbs-up and says:

"Hey man, positive thinking..!"

Didn't stop to say it, kinda just shared this with me

and kept his pace down the boardwalk.

It really felt good hearing that, I don't know why.

Just goes to show you even the smallest

of words and encouragement can go so far.

I can say I didn't exactly NEED that lift, but it

definitely did strike a nice, jazzy chord in me.

I may not know this man personally, or what he is

really all about, but I think I can safely say that he

and I are of like minds. Like, positive minds.

Right then and there, I decided to start sketching this

the messenger (wolf came to mind when recalled his image),

finished the inking within an hour or so before I left, and

finished coloring it when I got home.

Good think. Good feel. Good day, man.
