you know how sometimes, when you spend a lot of time trying to help someone out with something tough that they're going through, eventually their grime can kind of wear off on you? well..i have need of scrubbing some grime off of me. shaking the dirt off, and feeling sparkly clean. i need to work on not empathizing with someone so deeply that i get bogged down with their junk, and their issues become my issues, too.

you turn my mourning into dancing...

this is what i am smiling about today:
bluebirds. :)

the focus is off (i zoomed too far) but you still get the picture. dude is totally checkin that chick out. ;)
