thankful for THAT.

it has been over a year since i felt my heart brim with wonder and curiosity (and maybe even hope?--yes, HOPE!) while meeting someone new. today was the sort of day where the sun was shining, the clouds were floating effortlessly, and meeting him reminded me that i am fully capable of feeling this way. feeling happy, giddy, silly and genuine about affection and attention, direct eye contact and holding hands. now that is something for which i'm very thankful.
