Happy Things

I don't really want the world to think I see the glass as perpetually half-empty, so let's fill this blog halfway up with happy things. :]

First and foremost, my new profile image. It's me and my youngest cousin [youngest out of ALL of them, mind you!], whom we shall call D-Van on here. He's absolutely adorable, and I love that picture of the two of us.

Second, cider mills. Went to one today with my family and our neighbors, who also happen to have two adorable children. The oldest just learned her address and likes to recite it randomly--she's a very good little girl--and her brother laughs at everything.

Third, Panera babies. I saw the cutest little kids on Friday at work. Twins, a boy and a girl, less than a year old, curled up together in their stroller. One of the purest, nicest, most beautiful things I've ever seen in my whole life. Of course, they had those piercing eyes, the kind that see straight through to your soul and make your heart melt.

Of course, there are happy things that don't involve children, too. Like movies that came out when I was little that are now free with OnDemand. Or books I haven't read in years winding up next to my bed because I finally dusted them off.

Or taking a nap on a backyard swing, drifting in and out while writing a journal entry to my sister in our sacred NoteBook.

Like I said, happy things. My glass isn't half-empty. It just has to be refilled every now and then.
