...that's what I'm doing right now. I have papers to write but I am so slow this morning. I'm sitting on the awesome kitchen stool we have with my laptop on the counter beside the kettle and my towel hanging off the cupboard door, just enjoying my coffee (Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut, it was on sale... On of the things you don't find in Ontario) It's a happy morning. I don't exactly know why... Perhaps some recent blessings are sinking in. God is providing for me, I have a bit less uncertainty about the next little while, and I've enjoyed a lot of good phone conversations in the last little bit... And some good in person conversations too =) On a random note there are roses on the table, snipped from the bush outside. Roses in November! I walk past a big rosebush to get to my car, almost every day. I love it. This just started on my playlist so I will share it with you, it's a favorite.

(this list could go on for a very long time, actually.) everyone needs to stop and just stare at the blue sky sometimes. ask questions. make the people in your life feel like celebrities when you greet them. fresh air and exercise helps to keep you from going crazy. rainbows are the coolest things ever. never be afraid to ask for help. pray for ants. it's ok to cry. loudly. and then sit for a while - but only as long as you need. then get up and do the next thing. always be extra kind to people who've been crying. mud is good. real men like flowers. and killing bad guys, no matter how many zillions of times they're told fighting is not allowed at school. everyone should appreciate jellyfish. food is a big deal. singing louder is always better. and God is the answer to everything.
