little bits of happiness

dandelion wishes, silk tea bags, stars, the sent of roses, getting a letter in the mail, rainbows,

rain drops on a lake, wooden knitting needles, woodland violets, hot air balloons in the evening,

rocks with rings, pointe shoes, long outdoor walks, buttons, gardens, finger art, hair bows,

kisses, prisms, typewriters, the sound of a wooden flute, butterflies, thick grass, geodes,

writing with a dip pen, fireflies, lace, feathers, wind chimes, playing dress up, glass jars by a window,

bird song, sand castles, dancing in the rain, night time bike rides, mushrooms, secret notes,

fresh flowers brought inside, sea shells on the beach, toe nails painted red, and daisy chains.

Is there anything I missed?

In case anyone has been wondering, I have still be making things, and taking pictures too. I've just misplaced the cord I need to put them on my laptop, so that's why there's been nothing in that area for a long time. Sorry! I promise to update as soon as I find it. I hope the current posts are okay for now.

with braids and lengthening days,

I'm back!

Yes, I'm here! I apologize profusely for being gone over a month. December was completely insane, with work (I work in retail so every day was like trying to go up a packed-out down escalator), trying to make presents, and squeeze in and figure other things out as well, but some how I did manage some time to think. And two things have been finalized. I'm moving back home and I'm going to start dancing again. Both I am very relieved and happy about.

Moving out and getting my own apartment has been a really good experience, but it's also been a hard one. I've learned a lot about myself and what kind of roommate I'll need if I ever have to share a place with someone again (until I'm married and then none of it will matter, me being queen of the house and all...). Anyway, now I will soon have my own form of transportation, a room that is one hundred percent mine, Internet, the money so that I can dance, and the priceless feeling of being settled.

Dance. I just had my first classes yesterday and it is so wonderful to be back! I'd missed it more than I knew. I'm dancing 6 hours a week, taking ballet, lyrical, and contemporary, all of my favorites. There isn't much else to say right now, except I've missed you all and hope you had a wonderful last year and have a wonderful new one!

love to you all,

Clara

PS: oh and thank you so much for your response to my previous post. You really are beautiful!
