Today, today...

I got flowers.

I opened a P.O. Box in my name for all future mail.



I miss my twin, and though there's no words I can say, I hope she knows she's in my every thought.



I sent home-baked cookies and brownies to Iraq.



It's been 4 yrs, and it's gonna be okay :).



I washed my hair, and wore new clothes.



I'm a day away from spending a weekend in New Mexico with friends.



I got calls from family in PR, my favorite aunts and uncles.



I'm gonna have cheesecake...well, a little bit.

I'll tell you how the sun rose, --

A ribbon at a time.

The steeples swam in amethyst,

The news like squirrels ran.

The hills untied their bonnets,

The bobolinks begun.

Then I said softly to myself,

"That must have been the sun!"

But how he set, I know not.

There seemed a purple stile

Which little yellow boys and girls

Were climbing all the while

Till when they reached the other side,

A dominie in gray

Put gently up the evening bars,

And led the flock away.

-Emily Dickinson
