You know what? It’s been a pretty crappy week for me in a lot of ways. There have been good things, too, little glimmers, but still – I will be very happy when this week is behind me and I can breathe again.
Want to know what has helped me through? Thinking happy thoughts. Playing with Crisanna’s new puppy, Cleo. [Sidenote: after my teary emo-moment this morning, I may or may not have come up with a plan to run away from everyone and everything...and take only Cleo. Who isn't even my puppy! Ahem.] Glasses of red wine. Glasses of riesling. Inviting myself over to watch QI with Crisanna (prompting the Cleo-lovefest). Jokingly making plans with Jo to send pot-brownies to our parents. Participating in an insanely long email thread with the Altos about chocolate and blue men and fictional songs and Spaniards and Sicilians. And remembering favorite times, like dipping our toes in the lake:
How happy does that picture look? All sunshiney and pretty colors and my two favoritest people in the world. Happy Love Thursday, everyone! If your day doesn’t sparkle, throw some glitter into the air. Because some days you have to try to find the happy.

PICTURES!! YEAH!! Thanks for sharing – it does look fun and happy and sunny.
Hang in there. Only today and tomorrow and then the glorious weekend.
By-the-way, there was love in your week yesterday too – the a/c guy. He loved you, you just didn’t love him back.

Happy Love Thursday! Nice photo.
P.S. No. It’s all about *me*.

Wonderful! I AM going to throw glitter in the air…no one has ever said that to me before! Thank you for your words of encouragement. Happy Love Thursday.

New plan: Running away with only Cleo and the A/C guy.

I understand! I began at 5 am looking for peace before I even got out of bed! I was determined to have it today! I do! I realize that it was already inside of me – the joy! I just needed to move the thoughts to the side so that I can see it clearly! Once I saw it..Life was on!
Happy Love Thursday!
P.S. I feel the water on my feet… great photo!
