Sorry for the lack of posts. I haven’t had anything to write that isn’t depressing. The trees are sleeping, the air is frigid and each step is carefully made as to not slip in ice. No walks downtown, no hiking, no picnics, no riding with the windows down, bare feet, no sun-kissed cheeks. Just cold, wet and dark.
I’m a sad little troll in a cave.
What would I do without such a sweet, easy going baby? Her name means “Sunshine” and that she is. She brightens my gloom with her 6-toothed grin. Such a curious little beam of light. I love her.
Today, I actually spent the whole day out with my best girl friend. We’ve been friends since grade school and hanging out is so effortless. We looked at artsy plates and coffee mugs together and spent most of the time in her fiance’s truck just talking. It’s nice to have a friend you can be honest with and know your safe. Heck, it’s just nice to have a conversation with someone who isn’t trying to grab your earrings and chew on them. It was like a hot cup of tea for my tired soul.
To all of you on my side of the world, I hope your surviving this winter better than I am. And to all of you not on my side of the world, I am very, very jealous. Soak up some vitamen D for me.
Spring,
Please come soon.
Dearly,
Maranda
