There are two wonderful things already in the works for tomorrow:
a). The lovely Mr. Stoltzfus, who my parents have hired to do some work on the house, will not be hammering hardwood floor directly above my room at 6:30 in the morning. This also means that I can wear my customary really short shorts while enjoying my cereal. I’ve been really making a stab at early morning modesty in deference to Mr. Stoltzfus’ Amish ways. Well, and the fact that he’s a guy who’s not related to me. That, too.
and also b). I do not have to wake up at 7:30 for rehearsal tomorrow. We are starting later in the morning and I am grateful. It’s gonna kind of actually feel like a Saturday. A sleep-in-kind of day. Well, sleeping in till 9, anyway. Which, compared to 7:30, is pretty darn nice.
Now, those are just the two wonderful things about tomorrow that I know about. Imagine all the good things that I don’t know about. All the good things that are hiding around the corner, crouching there and ready to say boo! in a very lovely and non-scary manner, of course. Although, I just imagined someone saying boo! to me in a lovely and non-scary manner, and it came across as rather creepy in the scenario I envisioned. Oh, well. My point is that there are good things that I still don’t know about. Some of them will be a part of tomorrow. Let’s just leave the whole BOO! part out of it, thanks.
*update* turns out Mr. Stoltzfus does not take Saturdays off, after all.
happiness is a decision. maybe. yes, definitely maybe.

I have just decided to be happy.
Anyway. Like, despite the times that would make me feel unhappy. I mean, I’d rather not wait around for everything to line up before I can be like, high-five, world! You and I should be friends. We’re both tall and we both like to dance–what else do you need?
Can you do that? I’m about to find out. And I will tell you some things that make me happy. Things that I saw. Today. On one of those early March Saturdays that deceptively lead you to believe a long dress, tall socks, beat up boots, and a little denim jacket are enough to keep you warm. What a jokester you are, March. Cause it got cold. Colder than you led me to believe it would. And the way your wind whips my hair about and makes my dress look like saran wrap, all tight to my legs like that, sure is something else. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
But I saw three foxes today.
I have decided that seeing a fox means that something very good is about to happen. It also means that something very good is already happening. Cause, the fox. That you’re seeing. I mean, obviously.
Okay, so cheers to the happiness that may or may not be ours for the taking, but I am feeling gutsy enough to try taking it anyway.
