Do you ever have those days where you just cannot stop feeling totally awesome?
Yeah. That's how I feel right now.

That sister of mine, Laura, has gotten me hooked on the TV show "Grey's Anatomy". I'm in the middle of season six now and I must comment on all of the wonderful music. As in, Street Lights by Kanye West.
They just play all the right songs at the right times and then you get all emotional and the episode is over...
Ahem. It's okay.
I'll pull myself together.
I got this.

This morning I watched "The Price Is Right" as a good little wake up show while I did my ballet. Pretty lame episode, but I think Drew Carey was caught off guard a couple of times and had to make stuff up on the spot and that was certainly entertaining.
After having my breakfast for champions...cereal...I had a nice dance party while I took my shower.
Having a tech savvy father with all of the cool gadgets is pretty nice. Just hook your laptop up and boom! Speakers of awesomeness for listening to music while you wash away yesterday.

I do love to meditate in the shower. I imagine the water flowing through the top of my head and catching onto all of my worries and fears and flowing down my body and out my toes and down the drain.
Deep breaths are my favorite medicine. Learning to actually relax all of my body with every breath, letting go of all the strain in my muscles and feeling free in my heart, it's the best thing for me. Nothing helps more. No drugs of any kind could ever bring me as much comfort as filling my lungs with the beautiful oxygen that this world gives to me.

I am thankful for my lungs.

I'll never forget March Fifth

On March Firth 2011 

My oldest sister Laura married Zachary.

Oh and what a day it was. Although it was several months ago, I remember every second as if it was yesterday.
Every day of planning with Laura:
From trying on dresses to picking which song to cut the cake to, from helping Zachary ask for permission to getting the not so unexpected picture of Laura with a ring on her finger.

I remember when Laura and I would stay up late at night talking about how she felt about Zak. I remember the word she used, too.
Twitterpated. And it was in that moment I knew they would be together forever, cheesy as it may be.
I could see it in her eyes and hear it in her voice that she was honestly head over heels for this boy.
And I was SO right. To this day I still squeal inside a little bit when I remember that they're married.
