Appreciating the Little Things.

I've been having a rough semester / summer. This week has been one of my hardest, not physically, but everything else. I'm just not sure what's going on. I'm just...kinda empty right now.  Nothing is wrong, but everything is wrong.

Except maybe my plight has affected me physically, because I've slept so much. Too much. Like, almost all day. 

But. 

Thursday morning, I awoke to the sound of my phone buzzing. I glanced at the clock by my bed. 8:30 a.m. Who could be calling me at this hour? 

Mumbling a gruff hello? into the phone, I waited for a moment. Then the singing began. "Maggie I loooooove you..." 

My friend Kyler was inviting me to breakfast at a local cafe with a group of my theatre friends from high school. 

And let me tell you, it was absolutely refreshing. 

I even had an adventure before I even arrived. As I left the house, I realized that my parents and brother had made off with the family cars, so I decided to walk to the cafe. Halfway there, I realized that walking would take too long, so I gave Kyler a text. 

A few minutes later, Kyler and another friend careened onto the street and stopped the car. Kyler then proceeded to jump out of the car, make a mad dash in my direction, scoop me into his arms, and carry me over to the car, almost shy of chucking me into the backseat. We sped away thereafter. 

What a way to start the morning. 

 Theatre groupies at breakfast. 

Attempting to force feed Sam a pancake. 

The day was then spent sleeping, trying on old uniforms, and eating Chinese food with my family. 

Noodle therapy really works. Sometimes it's the little things. 

 The high school's new band uniforms for brother, my old winter guard uniform from my freshman year for me. 

The second time I was picked up today.  

Glad to know it still fits!

I'm not nearly where I need to be right now, but thank you so much for glancing at the ol' blog every once in a while. Does mean a lot. :) 

I'll leave you with this quote I stumbled upon this evening: 

"Be who you were created to be, and you will set the world on fire," ~ St. Catherine of Sienna
