I asked myself – as I do every morning in my bath – “how are you feeling?”. I responded “Pensive”. Later when I looked up the word, I thought how perfectly it captured my mood: wistfully thoughtful, contemplative, philosophic, introspective, marked by some sadness. It also surprised me because I usually wake up pretty cheery, especially when the sun is shining like this morning. But I embrace my cogitative state, pondering deeply the moods and movements of life’s symphony.
