a few words on happy.

you know when you just know something
when you are so sure something really great is about to happen.
i had that feeling today, all day.
i know, i know, i'm always telling you that.



but really it's true and lately i've been overcome by it.
overcome by the feeling that
i'm on the brink of something really really great.




maybe it's just the long days of summer.
the time spent with friends.
the summer swims in lakes.

maybe it's brunch on sundays
drinks on thursdays
or that i can wear cotton dresses most everyday.




whatever it is, i'm not really sure.
but, it's good just the same. and i hope it never goes away.




you know just today,
i saw a small boy riding his bike, streamers whizzing.
i ate a delicious bowl of cherries
they gave me purple fingers.



i had a surprise flower delivery to work
i saw a momma bird feed her growing babies.
i had a nice dinner with a friend
and i felt happy for the long summer nights.


and then it came to me.


maybe the feeling
the feeling that something good was on the way, wasn't that at all.
maybe instead that feeling i'm always talking about
is more simple than that.


maybe it's just the feeling of happiness.
and the feeling that for the first time really,
the world is truly at my fingertips.



i hope it's the same for you
and i hope your day was great.


talk or as alyson says,
type tomorrow.
xox, nikole.
