Ultra-Concentrated Joy

I need to be more like my dish soap, "Ultra-Concentrated Joy."So...Ultra-Concentrated Joy List!!!!!

1. The Writers Retreat is this weekend! I am so, so, so excited to join professors and students (many of them friends) on an adventure to northern Michigan to write, read, and play. I am really excited for this.
2. I have people to live with next year! My dear friend Hope and a friend of hers were looking for people to live with- and so were we girls of Beta 6. So Apartment Sunny-Fun-Time is a go! It's a weight off of my shoulders.
3. It's raining. For most people, this would be depressing. But I love the rain. I love the "stay at home with a hot drink and a good book" feel of those days. I love the way the rain feels on my hair, on my face. I love jumping in puddles with my daisy-decorated rain boots. I love it.
4. A seemingly insurmountable week was conquered.
5. Lent starts today. I am experimenting in controlling food and not allowing it to control me. So, for the next 40 days, no sweets- no cupcakes, ice cream, candy, cookies, donuts, etc. etc. It's not going to be easy, but it's going to be done.

Now it's time for some mac and cheese!
Love,
Momo
