...

i went to the career counselor.

he asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up.

i said: a tea drinker who reads good books.

i wasn't lying.

dear stress..

xo.
miss mandi.

think i want it thursday.

remember when jack johnson said,
"where'd all the good people go?"
well. they're still here. you just have to look for them.
they are in coffee shops, grocery stores, church pews, libraries, recreation centers, computer labs and school halls. just look.
that is what i want this thursday. i want you to remember this:

there are still good people in the world.

think i want it thursday.

today is thursday. and i think i want to play scrabble. i don't mind who wins. i just want to see wooden block letters spell words i love. and i want to learn new words and i want to spell words wrong because i am pretending to be smart. i think that is what i want today. but. i want it to be the board game. none of this fake virtual mish mash. because a good game of scrabble makes one smile.

think i want it thursday.

i think i want a really. really. really biiiiiig. lightening storm. one where the air is heavy and i get a little nervous. i want to watch the lightening in the distance. and then. i want to go to sleep. and i want it to rain. really. really. really hard. i want to hear it pounding my rooftops all night long. and when i wake up in the morning. i want to roads to be shiny and slick. and i want to smell the rain. i want it to linger. all day long.
i think that is what i want. today.
