Of Morning

Seaside mist imposter
crawls into the basin
waking the foothills
from a slumber so sweet
winter warmth left its fingerprint
in the form of green grass
sprinkling the frost
breathing into the morning moonlight
serenade.

Stepping out on the stained concrete
ankles crack and toes bend
in filth smothered sneaker mesh
knee one creaks
knee two straightens
heel toe, heel toe
upon green grass
trampled into the earth
turning sparkling frost
into murky mud
dents.

Mind wanders to yesterday
old conversations tucked in pockets
cell phone speakers
online forums
lost in the crowded cyberspace
cluttering our concentration
with hustle bustle
contentment lost
in comparisons
and confusion
of where we are supposed to be
and who
with who?

Street lamps flicker
car horns echo against bleachers
brick walls and cinder blocks
Dog walkers chatter
neighbors wave
the world awakens
to another day
of mass communications
overshadowing the sweetness
that lies behind
the silence
of morning.

With a touch of Glass...

Inspired by the highly anticipated Disney Marathon in January, I brought out my inner-mouse in my latest bottle-project.

Happiness Is...

Before my mom left from unpacking my life in this new city, we made a promise to each other- we must wake up and go to sleep with a smile on each of our faces. Some days have been harder than others, I will admit... But today I woke up with a great big smile thinking about the great things that are to come. Perhaps it's because for me,  Happiness is....

Knowing I will be traveling up to see my family (and this little mutt) in exactly a week.

I will also be attending a good friend's wedding, eating cake, and swimming in the pool with my Daddio!

Planning out my next cupcake escapade. Possible concoctions include salted caramel, strawberry kiwi, and pink champagne.

Coffee.... Period.

Getting a phone call and an email about a job interview on Monday morning. The possibility of *FINALLY* obtaining a big-girl job within a respectable company and alongside nice people just brings smiles all 'round.

Finding this little lady on Etsy and planning on spending some of my first paycheck (wherever it may come from) on one of her works.

What is everyone out there happy about today? If nothing else, it's almost the weekend AND summertime is only a blink away!
