today has been a pretty good day so far and I'll tell you why.

EVERYONE ALWAYS SAYS. It's the little things.

But it reeeeally is people.

Maybe it's just because I am one of those blessed human beings who are apparently unable to successfully process their feelings at any given point in time. When the joy is neatly sectioned into little jewels throughout the day, it makes it easier to appreciate every bit of it. Plus it's a Monday so I needed to be able to find the joy in the Monday-ness. :P

Oh wait that's everyone. So yeah.

It's the little things. So far, today:

• Woke up early because I was cold,  and then strategically placed the blankets to maximize the heat being generated.

• My Latin teacher was feeling especially chatty and telling lots of stories in class. I also am pretty sure I aced the vocab quiz.

• Took my little brother to the park and sang "Traveling Soldier" by the Dixie Chicks, except it was our version. He sings "Traveling Shoulder" anyway, so we inserted words like "kitty" and "Jude" and "Sarah" in and laughed our heads off.

• My mom told me she'd make banana bread.

• I had little revelations here and there today - I don't care what my body looks like. It feels nice to share yourself with someone and to be selfless. Life should be filled with funny things because laughing is VITAL.

I'm excited about life right now. Coming back to this little blog soon with more of my dreams and plans and revelations.

happy monday to everyone

Today was a good day.

     I wrote a speech last night at 1:00 a.m. this morning and consequently only got about four hours of sleep. Needless to say, I thought it was going to be a rotten Monday. But God loves me a lot and I guess he felt like giving me a good Monday instead. :)

one | this video made me laugh today:

two | I gave aforesaid speech today in rhetoric class and it went really well :)

three | remember when I said I was failing chemistry? well. well! today I checked my grade and I have a B. (!!!!) suffice it to say that rarely in my life have I been this happy. you would've thought I had just been accepted into my dream college or something - I was telling everyone!

     I hope you all are having as great a Monday as I am, but if not, I hope you will be able to see the good in it anyway. And here's to a better Tuesday, yes?
