now that’s what i’m talkin’ ’bout. a pretty instant photo. this really cheered me up. i am not a total instant photo loser after all!

other things that cheer me up:

• the purple tulips shown above. they’re still right here and lovely as ever.
• green tea after weeks of black because i was out of green. dear god, black tea is not for me. green! i am already thinking about tomorrow’s pot.
• this short film on the sartorialist.
• a guy at work named his baby clementine
• this fine yellow fellow.
• winter coat, cold face.
• i want to see somewhere
• pink camellia bushes in full bloom — even on a frosty 28-degree morning.
• the anthropologie sweater and black banana republic pants (perfectly my size!) found thrifting
• modern family — best… show… ever…!
• this night, this dark night, the music close inside my ears, and the years running through my mind like a freight train of heavy, sparkling moments i don’t mind carrying with me forever
