It's the little things...


& everything returns.

As quickly as things fall apart, they come right back together in new, better (& stronger) ways.

This is my favorite time of year, the sweet piece of summer right before school starts. I love being back in the Valley, I love that all the people I haven't seen all summer are just a short walk/drive/bike/skip away.

I think maybe part of the reason I love this period SO MUCH is because it is so fleeting. In a flash, we'll be sitting back in the classroom, studying our nights away. But right now, right this moment, everything is just perfect.

My heart is very happy.

& that's at least partially because my kitten is so cute.

It has been a pretty awful day. My head hurts and I am tired. I'm confused. I don't get it. I miss something that's not yet gone, but somehow I can't hold on to it anymore. I am scared to be a grown-up. I am scared.

I wish things didn't have to change.

But I guess, if we never changed, we would never learn.

Happy Birthday to Me


This girl
has given me
the happiest birthday
and the prettiest ring
I have ever had.

Goodnight, Moon.
