"Oh, what's this?" Eleanor muttered, a playful grin forming on her face as she opened her mailbox. The sun warmed her face. She felt a certain… vibrancy. A card was tucked amongst the flyers and bills. It was a simple, hand-drawn design, with a single, cheerfully drawn sun. The card simply said "Happy Birthday."

She poured herself a cup of coffee and sat on her porch swing, watching the world wake up. She felt a sudden urge to clean her house, something she never enjoyed. She found herself rearranging furniture and sorting through old photographs. The dust motes dancing in the sunlight made her smile.
