a bit of sprucing up

Dang it. I'm grump, grump, grumpy. Sometimes it's like it gets in your system and you know if you had a hell of a laugh or the kindest thing said to you, it might be over, but you can't get rid of it. I'm trying, though. Here's what I've thought about to try to perk up.

*The warm sunshine outside and what if it were on my bare shoulders and my feet were curled in sand and a dog was frolicking with me.
*How awesome it would be to live in Spain and be surrounded by old Europe, old architecture, old music and good food.
*How nice it is to be held by Jesse.
*How exciting it will be to see my parents in 2 months (and 2 months after that we're done in Japan!).
*How much I love drinking a cup of coffee at a cafe outside in the sun with a good book or my journal and Jesse beside me.
*How much fun I will have seeing people again in Portland. Yay - Erin and Steph and April and Sherrie and Heidi! Holy moly I miss you guys!
*What a fantastic life I still have in front of me. With Jesse! And dogs and babies! And a fun job and, "Oh! The places I'll go!"

Huh, I feel better! Really, I do, imagine that. My stomach's calmed down and my brain's not so twirly.
