sunkist and leaves...

Two things are making me happy right now. Actually a couple more than that, but two in particular and they would be: the Sunkist I just purchased at the OP and the pile of leaves I got to walk through on my way to purchase aforementioned Sunkist.

In an odd mood today actually. I am feeling very "on top of things" which is nice. I am looking forward to Thursday and Friday-- because I get a visit from an out-of-town friend on EACH of those nights, and I also get to see LBC again on Friday. I also have no major exams or papers for the next week or so, which is a benefit. AND I'm having dinner with my big brother tonight, which is probably one of my favorite things to do!

Things I am thankful for right now:
1. Myself
2. My Brother-- who cooks dinner for me!!
3. Along those lines, my entire family
4. Those friends who I have managed to keep in touch with or get back in touch with, after many years
5. The new friends I've made along the way
6. Dragging my feel through a fresh layer of brightly colored leaves
7. The opportunities I've had in my life
8. The knowledge that it's all ok in the end


As you probably can tell, I'm in an interesting mood today.

I just think it is so interesting and amazing how things work out and the things that help you and test you and shape you throughout life.

SO I will confess though, that when I went to the OP there was some slight hope that I would run into Chad (since he lives over there)... I feel pretty good today, and I think I'm lookin' smokin' and I don't miss him really at all right now--- so it would've been a great day to see him! Eh well, I'm sure I'll run into him some day when I'm at the OP for some cold/flu medicine and am lookin' like crap.

Anyway... so I love Autumn. I like the colors and the crunchy leaves under my feet... I just wish it didn't mean that our beautiful state will soon turn into a frozen wasteland.

Go jump in the leaves while you've got the chance everyone!
