Little Things:

I've been in a funk lately. nothing too heavy or sad, just... meh about a lot of things. I'm sure it is partly my "post-show-slump" that I generally fall into once a show closes. It's also springtime, which brings a lot of newness and sunshine, but also a lot of bittersweet and cloudy memories for me.

SO.

I'm taking a page from my dear friend Bailee's book, and writing a list of little things that make me feel better.

• Remembering that I loved some tv shows from this season and catching up on all of them. Go On, and The New Normal are just so good! Also finding ANTM and Sabrina the Teenage Witch on Hulu.
• Washing all my sheets AND my pillows. Clean bedding is the best.
• The Sondheim Birthday Concert on DVD.
• Easter Candy. Peeps and Reese's Eggs are my weakness.
• Watching Peter Cottontail on youtube and feeling like a kid again. (Thanks Welchkins!)
• Blossoms on the Peach Tree over our driveway... and knowing that I'll be moved out before the peaches start dropping.
• Jello Shots
• Reading my favorite Shakespeare comedy, As You Like It, as part of my prep-work for to audition for it.
• A Facebook message with an invite for a coffee date from someone I met at a party. 
• A sea of red equality photos on Facebook.
• Playing tug of war with my pup, and taking him on walks.
• A rainy April 1st.
• Tables at work who leave $20 tips on $60 and $40 checks. Days like today remind me why I don't REALLY hate my job all that much.
• Phone calls from Ally Berry to discuss mischievous plans.
• Treating myself to a movie date in my basement with chinese takeout and "Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day."
• Cheers to You, free pool, After-hours sushi, and a stolen carnation with "The Boys" for Aaron's birthday.
• Painting my nails springy colors, even if my fingers chip after one day at work, at least my toes are still pretty!
• Conversations with Tanner.
• Getting to sing with Luke for his senior recital in three weeks. (yikes! I should practice!)
• Seeing old friends and growing closer to new friends.

I just have to remember that the little things matter just as much as the big things. That even if life seems up in the air and aimless and confusing right now, things will work out, and what ever happens will make me stronger and smarter and ready for anything. I may not know where I'm headed, or what's next, or if everything will be all right, but I know that every day there is beauty and fun and laughter and that's enough for now.
