What have you been up to lately?

I've been very busy lately.

I've been planning the future,
making lists,
organizing books,
labeling shelves with duct tape,
writing a research paper I love,
dancing to the beat of my own drum,
singing in my lovely choir and in my lovely car,
talking to my best friends,
getting advice from my mother,
calling far away friends,
hugging not so far away friends,
drinking coffee from my new anthropologie mug,
making Ginger Peach tea,
trying to trust my gut,
listening to 'I and Love and You' by Avett Brothers,
creating my own PostSecret to send in,
being content with where I'm at right now.

Swingset Adventures

For Christmas one year, my mom gave me an ornament that said

"There are many shortcuts to happiness

and dancing is one of them."

It's still hanging on my bulletin board

and I believe the quote is completely true.

I also believe that swinging is another one of these shortcuts.

I hope you never forget to go on swingset adventures.

They are truly the best.

put on your red shoes

My red shoes are patent-leather flats with buttons on the side. What are your red shoes?
