I am prepared for amazing things to happen. I can handle it.

It was always the broken hand we learned to lean on after all




I hope that you all woke up this morning healthy and refreshed. I hope that you had cinnamon buns, watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and watched your mother cry when the Radio City Rockettes came on and kicked their legs. I hope that you got food all over your clothes when you helped your mother with the stuffing at the last minute. I hope that you were impatiently eating appetizers until the last of your family arrived and you could break out the feast. I hope that all you could do was smile when you had filled your stomach to the brim and you had marker all over your hands from the hand turkey you drew on the tablecloth of gratitude. I hope that you are with the people you love, you are listening to your mother scream at the video games on the television, and you are completely content with how your day [and year-for the most part] has gone so far. I hope that you are getting ready for Christmas and thiking about what wonderful presents you're going to get everyone. I hope that you realize that even though your life is hectic, stressful and makes you want to scream sometimes, it will get better soon.

All of this is me. I hope it's you, too.

I smile more when I belong




Pomegranates are in season,
my fingers are stained,
and I am a happy girl!


I've been writing letters and reading pleasant things.
I should be doing homework,
but you would do the same if you knew how charming the weather was! This is weather in which great things should occur.

Now I am living.
