Dear Life...

Goodmorning New Day,

I love the blue-skies and sunshine you chose to wear today. I, on the other hand, wasn't ready to wake up this morning, and I'm sure you can tell by the lazy-look I put on. You must have changed a thousand times today, because at first glance I thought you where wearing fog with your dewy grass. Let me tell you, I like this look much better on you. Don't get me wrong, you looked beautiful in your grey skies yesterday, and the lightning really topped it off. Actually, I had a wonderful day spending time with you. Sometimes you just need a little change.
I tell you what, you always are a great friend. I love knowing that no matter what, you are always there when I wake up the next morning. I know I don't tell you enough, but thank you for that. I tend to be wrapped up in everything sometimes, and I forget that I just wouldn't be me if it weren't for you being here every day.
It's like you always know exactly how to make me feel better. I have never in my life, met someone like you. Just when I need to be cheered up, you turn on the sunshine. Just when my heart aches and pain strikes, you fire up a bolt of lightning and you cry with me. You offer a whisper of wind when I need advice. You can flip a switch and you are a perfect listener on a calming day.
I mean, take today for example. It was a rough night last night, and you knew I wasn't feeling too great. After tossing and turning and this little ache keeping me up all night, I just wanted to hold on to the night. Six-thirty came too soon. But you, selfless as always, managed to put on your biggest, brightest sunshine just as I was having a weak moment . I loved just listening to you on my way to work. Without saying a word, you can make me feel a million times better.
On top of that, you know that I love it when you sing to me. As soon as I hopped into my car, you turned up singing just what I needed to hear. Your words can always speak to my heart. Just knowing I had the chance to spend a forty-minute drive with you at your best made me happy.
And, whether you meant it or not, you told me I didn't need to wear makeup today. Thank you for that. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and trust your judgment. You know, it is pretty nice not having to worry about anything. I still couldn't shake hiding behind the glasses though, but I'll get there someday. I know, I know...I need to stop worrying about what everyone around me thinks. It's just so difficult with all of these people walking around you all day. I mean, you still look as gorgeous as the day I first met you. You can wear whatever you want, act however you want, and even when people complain...you don't change who you are. Believe me, I don't know how you do it.
Thank you for everything you do for me. It's one of those times, and I need you today. There's no need to repeat everything, but I'm having a hard time with the same-old, same-old. I wish I could do lunch with you today. I'll have to call you after class so you can walk me to my car. I'll talk to you soon.

Love always,
B
