yesterday

Yesterday was LOVE MYSELF DAY!

Took a long refreshing shower and was surprised to find myself singing.

Painted my nails an aqua blue, coated with glitter while listening to Stone Temple Pilots on my i-pod shuffle. (”I know you’ll be safe and not alone….”)

Set my hair into curls that I know would last only a couple of hours, but that’s ok.

Put on a smashing dress that made me feel fabulous… He agrees.

Reread the book,”The Pig That Wants to Be Eaten; One Hundred Mind Exercises for the Arm Chair Philosopher.” It was Yin’s gift for me and Tope. I remember he couldn’t put it down. It’s pages are filled with my unruly scribbles and his “arabic” prints. Our very own version of arm-chair philosophy. When we read our own notes again, we laughed at how silly we’ve been. And at how silly we still sometimes are. Silly is a great comfort when things in life get too serious.

Watched 4 straight movies in a row just like we always did on From-Duty days.

The world isn’t perfect. But yesterday, I decided that it should be. At least for a day.

After all, everything in this life is a choice.

So I chose to be happy and nothing could ruin it for me.

So there.
