post-bus pleasantries

And back again! What a whirlwind of holiday gatherings. No papers were written, no applications mailed, no exams studied for...so I am in the doghouse :-) I am back in my comfortable room. Thats a beautiful feeling. I am so pleased to be here. Its amazing how much joy one person can find in the prospects of taking a warm shower and eating a cup-o-noodles soup. I also have a new cell phone which allows me to speak to people without having to go outside in the snow like I have the past few weeks. So glad!! I think its great that after spending the past 6 hours in a bus I am still generally relaxed and happy.
I like this feeling.

With wishes that your evening is just as pleasant,
peace

travel day

i am home. that is a color- what hue or shade, I am unsure, but it is a color. I traveled today from one city to another...that was a joy. I already miss being at school. That's a grey-periwinkle shade. I have my music though, and that is always a vibrant rainbow of fluctuating colors. I went to mass today and got be a Eucharistic Minister. That is golden. And I cried for a moment. That made me happy, oddly. It felt right.

Being home I will see my family, my friends-I am not sure. We all have places to be other than with each other, so I will see how that works out. And tomorrow I am going to a dollar store. Talk about heaven!!!! Now I am thinking of my electric blanket and comforter and a sleepy grin is sweeping my face.

G'night, God Bless...

Laughter and comfort

A fortune cookie made me laugh at myself today.

I like to laugh. Laughter that stirs your spirit and your heart. I like to make others laugh too. Today I got to sit out of dance class because I felt sick. That made me happy. I was comfortable sitting in the corner with my flannel pants and my sweater and scarf. I was happy that the advil worked and I felt much better. I dressed as a "happy bruise" today as a friend lovingly called it. Blue and black with rainbow accents. I felt comfortable and confident in my skin. I listened to music today - a lot. Now that is happiness and joy. ::sigh:: life is good. Especially when there is a stunning tune resounding in your soul.

This is the color of my life today. This will be my canvas from now on. A place for me to put the colors of my life. Enjoy the gallery.
