Today is a glorious day!
Its a Monday, and not only it is a Monday, it is the Monday after spring break. I have three essays and two midterms due this week. But this is all easily overshadowed by the sunshine and birds chirping. Oh, how I love spring. I really don't do well with winter but once the weather hits 50 degrees, I am a new woman. Food tastes better in spring. The world is a friendlier place. But mostly I love spring because I can finally pull out my skirts and dresses. I am having trouble keeping myself from this dress at the Limited. It's calling my name. Quite loudly I might add.
How could you prefer any other season.

So much for resolutions...
Okay, okay, you can laugh at the fact that it is now March, and despite having made wild claims about posting weekly as a New Years resolution, I am posting for the second time. Today was not the best of days and instead of pointless, mind-numbing Facebook browsing I think I will write a therapeutic gratitude list. I need remind myself that February is over (hooray!), the snow is melting, and spring break is in sight. Not to mention the fact that I am nearing the end of my junior year.
So here are a few things I can be thankful for today:
My youngest sister who greets me with an enthusiastic hug and kiss within seconds of my arrival. Today I stopped by my parents and she was waiting for me in the driveway. I love how sweet and genuine she is!
Blueberry Pomegranate tea at the end of a long day. I need something warm and cozy especially when it is this soggy out and my rain boots have a leak...
My oh-so hardworking and thoughtful boyfriend. BF scored a great job and is really excited (as am I.) I can't get over how responsible he is. I suppose opposites really do attract.
The fact that I am not (yet) caffeine dependent. After simultaneously running out of diet coke and cash I worried that I would be miserable all week but I am yet to suffer a headache. This is borderline miraculous!
The season of lent and the reminder I've gotten of the power of sacrifice. I feel so much more purposeful when I let the little snags in my day become an opportunity for love.
And finally I am thankful for the little green leafs I saw poking out of the snow today. The daffodils are coming and I could use a little sunshine.
