there's still enough of the good stuff to go around

After a week of many transitions, I needed to add some more little things to my happiness list.

After all, I believe you can never think of too many little things that make you


happy.



10. calls instead of text messages
9. lunar flow yoga
8. a summer sun-kissed glow
7. when someone scratches my back
6. dog eared pages in my favorite book
5. live music
4. Austin, TX
3. sweet old Italian men who walk the streets of Florence ever so slowly
2. a good listener / learning to be a good listener in return
1. being reminded that God's love is strong and real

Dark Blue

Graduating.
Everyone's doing it-
well, almost everyone.
I'll be here for another semester.
And being here, well, it's not a bad place to be.
It's actually a lovely place to be.
However, once this graduation thing happens...
most of the people who make this place what it is to me will be gone.
Some will be enjoying wedded bliss.
Some will be teaching in Spain, another will be serving in Kenya
and some will be starting Seminary.
We may all be in different cities, different states, and even on different continents in a few short weeks.
However, wherever we may go-
I'll take each of them with me.
I celebrate with them.
They did it! They made it!
And soon...I'll be a college grad, too.
Wow.
