happiness

I'm happy.

It's my grandmother's birthday today. A day to celebrate a beautiful life well lived.

The sun has been shining in Chester, and I've just been feeling like I belong here lately.

I mail so many letters that the lady at the post office knows me, and that my letters go to America.

I'm making new friends, and keeping the old.

I got a lot of hugs today. I love hugs.

I'm planning a trip with my Mommy to Italy in a couple weeks.

I wake up every morning at 8:00, throw open the curtains, make a cup of tea and some toast, and read my Bible.

Life isn't perfect, but there is something so good about accepting the simplicity of being happy.

p.s. Happy birthday, Grammie. I love you!
