the lifting of the Fog

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings;

These are a few of my favorite things.

Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels;

Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles;

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings;

These are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes;

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes;

Silver-white winters that melt into springs;

These are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites,

When the bee stings,

When I'm feeling sad,

I simply remember my favorite things,

And then I don't feel so bad.

thats all there really is - all I needed was a reminder that life was good...that it wasnt all gray like my emotions would lead me to believe...and i def have to thank some of my friends for that...in the last week they have made me feel extremely cherished and have lifted me out of the funk i was in! thank you guyz! :)

and now for budday plans - i am going shopping today to buy my bday dress and as i told my dad i plan to splurge and spend a lot of his money on this dress since i def deserve an awesome gift from them! :P plans are being made for dinner on sat with S and the others...and i guess partying might happen since its a sat night! :)

sometimes its the small things that matter...a good conversation about random family stuff with V last night; a nice email from S during the day yday...its the little things that make your life worth living...like that story about sand being able to trickle through in between the big rocks & pebbles to fill your life with the happy moments, the ones that make all the struggles worth it! :)

enough gloomy days for now! ive got a happening wkend ahead!! :D

*anti-jinx*
