soak it up.

ode to lrc, band of horses.

i don't know where it has come from,
but lately, i've felt a surge of happiness.
of contentment, of hope.
of feeling like things are in their rightful places.

maybe it's the beginnings of a new chapter.
maybe it's the growth and self-development.
maybe it's the letting go and moving on.
i do not know, but for the first time in a long time,
i feel like myself again.

of course, there are all sorts of things i don't know.
all sorts of plans i have yet to figure out.
but sometimes there's loveliness in the not knowing,
in the unexpected, in the unfamiliar.

"the world is such a wonderful place."

customers and colleagues at starbucks continually ask,
"tiff, where does your energy come from? your spark?"
if only people would notice the little things.
those are what get me through the day.
the world is our's for the soaking it and appreciating.

you just have to let it in.
