One Thing That Made You Smile Today?

I went on a date with someone other than my wife for the first time is 30 years. The timing is bad as I am still confused about my marriage but we are living apart and nothing seems to be changing there in a positive direction. So I meet this woman who has all the qualities I find attractive, she is educated and has a graduate degree, she loves books and she is a cyclist (former road racer). She is in tip top shape. Of course my brain is saying there must be something wrong with her because she seems attracted to me too. But anyway, for a few hours I felt wonderful but also wondered if I should be doing this right now. I have been through a lot the past 8 months and this was like a breath of fresh air.
 
Allowing my little ego to enjoy feeling like a little hero for making a cashier at the supermarket laugh and smile after the customer before me in the line shouted at her abusively. Allowing myself to boast about spreading the love without apology.
