thunderstorms in the forecast.
an open window.
the possibility of wearing a skirt.
frosty at sunrise, warm by noon.
smiles all around campus.
using my umbrella, ella, ella…
raindrops on the windshield.
hanging up my wool coat.
goodbye, March.
the world is a little greener.
neglected snow boots.
hope.

I really hope the groundhog sees his shadow today. Spring fever came upon me when I tore off the January page in my wall calendar this morning.

And it has a third [...]

After hanging out with friends tonight and enjoying hilarious moments with them, I am thinking about the power of laughter. It is
vibrant - full of life and energy and warmth
communal - expressive of shared enjoyment

(I got this idea and title from Crystal at Biblical Womanhood.)
Tomorrow is my 21st birthday. No, I am not going to celebrate in the traditional way (my school doesn’t allow it, and I wouldn’t really want to anyway). But I am excited to see what my friends have planned; they’re not telling me anything.
