Been out dancing tonight. Don't know if my dancing looked as delicate as these reeds dancing in the Copenhagen storm - just before dusk - on my way to meet a beautiful friend. But well who cares. I totally enjoyed it!!!
Made me thankful to be able to walk around safely in Copenhagen at night; from work, to dinner, to the club and even late at night heading home. I know it's not always like that. But at least most of the time it still is. And I am very grateful for being able to feel safe in the streets.
And I am grateful how people can sometimes surprise you in wonderful ways. A man heading towards me. Clearly very drunk. Approaching me, and asking if he can ask me a question. I deliberately chose to be friendly, even though I was alone, and I had no idea what he wanted.
And then he said; "I just want to wish you a very pleasant weekend, and a VERY Happy New Year". Returned his wishes with gratitude, and smile for a long time afterwards.
...And now writing this at 04.26 pm. I am extremely grateful to be back home and on my way to bed :-)
