Something's Coming

I got a feeling there's a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Coming to me!

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something's coming, something good...

-"Something's Coming" from West Side Story

Lately, I've been uncharacteristically happy. Giddy, even.

It could be the long-awaited, albeit still-too-chilly arrival of spring. It could be the start of Little League, which with the squeezable kids, the fantastic coaches and the presence of so many lovely and witty friends has so far proven to be more fun than dinner and drinks on a Friday night. It could be that the tide's in again for me and my girl. (Ebbs and flows, people. Ebbs and flows.)

It could be any or all of the above.

But I don't think that's it, really.

I think something's coming.

Something amazing is on the way, moving toward me at a steady pace, patient and unwavering in it's approach. I sense it in my bones. I feel lucky and full of anticipation, though I have absolutely no idea when it will arrive or even what IT is.

And I'm okay with that. More than okay. I may be a spoiler fiend when it comes to TV shows, but I don't need any clues about what joyful miracle is coming my way. The suspense is delicious.

Happy weekend, all.

PS: When I found the West Side Story video clip I surprised myself because I knew all the words to this song -- and it's not even my favorite song from this musical (my faves are "America" and "I Feel Pretty"). Sure I practically had this movie (and other musicals) on a loop when I was 13 and super geeky, but to still remember the words after all this time?

PPS: Go Rivercats!
