after a four day train journey filled with amazing scenery back down to my southern home, i am thankful to be:

• freshly showered
• in my own bed
• in my childhood room
• wearing an awesome new t-shirt

i am trying to embrace simple happiness more in life. i have a stack of books (“the price of salt”, “a viet cong memoir”, “the bllionaire’s vinegar”, “a rumor of war”, and “the life of pi”) to read/re-read at my leisure, a ceiling fan to cool me (it’s 80 degrees outside at 10PM right now, hehe), a roof over my head, and a loving family/adorable pets to squeeze.

and of course a loving boo not too far away. so right now i am very happy and i will not forget this.
