THINGS THAT MAKE
MY HEART EXPLODE

First off: You. All I can say is thank you. Thank you for visiting this poor neglected space. Thank you for saying hello. This has boueyed me through the funk of February and March, which as we all know, can be quite the funk. And friends already near and dear, your words are a constant source of inspiration, and I don't say so often enough. Honestly people, if there were such a thing as a virtual group hug, I would initiate one right now.

Second: Blooming trees. The weather plays me like a mandolin. Fake spring, which usually arrives in February, is full of 60 degree days and sunshine, and then the sky explodes and hail wreaks havoc, and the rain washes everything away til June. I am such a sucker. I fall for it every year. But cherry trees have a way of changing all the wet into magic. I'm a girl.

Third: Making progress, even if I don't talk about it.

Fourth: Skylar Cuppy is a ray of sunshine.

Fifth: This print.

Sixth: Kyra is coming!

Seventh: Did I mention you?
