I am so grateful that I have finally figured out an alarm system which works for me (loud happy music, followed 10 minutes later by a real alarm) & allows me to wake up feeling happy & motivated & excited about the day! I am so grateful that it started snowing a few minutes ago because it’s intensely beautiful! I am so grateful that my school schedule this year is so lenient, allowing for plenty of coffee breaks & visits home! I am so grateful that I got to record in a home studio on the weekend; my producer was THE BEST & I had a fantastic time & I’m so excited to get the tracks back! I am so grateful that I decided to make a happy playlist to listen to when I need to get into a great mood (“Raise Yo’ Frequency, Gurl!”) & that it actually works! I am so grateful for OkCupid because it is full of cute people & I am going on a date with one in 2 days! I am so grateful that my cat is always available for snuggling when I need her! I am so grateful that my body magically healed itself in the night so I don’t have to go to the doctor today! I am so grateful that I know how to get myself into a great mood!
I love pears! I love Reverie Sound Revue! I love MAC Up The Amp lipstick! I love learning about things like lucid dreaming & human rights! I love people who are reasonable & accommodating! I love drinking tons of water! I love brewing fresh coffee in the morning! I love getting to class early & scribbling secrets in my journal while the classroom is empty! I love boys who wear royal blue sweaters over crisp collared shirts! I love serendipitous run-ins with people who make my heart speed up! I love reading plays! I love hula hooping! I love horrible cheesy 90s pop music! I love my mom! I love leftover pancakes for lunch! I love Max’s sense of humor!
Wouldn’t it be nice to do a hoop workout today? Wouldn’t it be nice to do some super-relaxing yoga? Wouldn’t it be nice if I got the tracks back from that recording session & they sounded awesome (which I know they will)? Wouldn’t it be nice if my date on Friday went fantastically beyond measure? Wouldn’t it be nice if I had a great time hanging out with Cadence tonight (which I know I will)? Wouldn’t it be nice if life always seemed this easy & fun? Wouldn’t it be nice if I wrote a bunch of new songs in time for my Paprika show? Wouldn’t it be nice if the show was very well-attended & went great? Wouldn’t it be nice to discover a bunch of new songs to put in my happy playlist? Wouldn’t it be nice to get into “the zone” while working on my painting today? Wouldn’t it be nice to cuddle with Gretchen’s Siamese kitten today? Wouldn’t it be nice to make some silly videos with Cadence?
Today I intend to have fun. Today I intend to have a crush on everyone. Today I intend to find everything endlessly fascinating. Today I intend to dance & move my body. Today I intend to revel in being healthy & young & happy & alive!
