This is the first day in a long time where the temperature has been above freezing. I can say without restrain that this is one of the most beautiful days I have seen in a long time. The snow that had long plagued us upon our lawns and benches has finally begun to melt away into to water which will nourish new life from these ravaged soils. Perhaps for once the groundhog was right about this early spring, perhaps it is only coincidence, perhaps this is only a sampling of spring, the eye in the storm that is the long harsh State College winter. No matter what the cause, today should be seen as a sign for all to appreciate life. A day this nice should not be wasted.
But since it is Valentine's Day today, many people will let this beauty go by unnoticed, either because they are too entwined with their lovers to see anything else or because they are so concerned with their feelings of depression and self pity on this day that celebrates the love shared between so many couples.
I refuse to let this day pass by unnoticed, I will live it to the fullest, enjoying every second of the beautiful air. If only all days could be this inspiring, with its perfect temperature, not so cool as to freeze one, but not so hot so that one may begin to sweat. It is quite simply the perfect day. Now get out there and enjoy it.
