Happiness in April

maybe it’s the mug of peppermint tea cupped in my hands.

maybe it’s the unexpected letter of encouragement from a sweet friend that was discovered in my mailbox this afternoon.

maybe it’s the especially tender words God has been whispering to me

and the perfect way he’s been working in me.

Maybe it’s the beautiful, southern April.

maybe it’s because I finally feel at home in Raleigh.

maybe it’s the bright skirts, spring dresses, and 4 inch heels strewn about my room in look book of sorts.

maybe it's the burts bees tent sale that made all my burts bees fantasies come true. 

maybe it's the workout that squeezed it's way into my day (the bum says 'thanks!)

maybe the cricket chirping outside my window

keeping me company

maybe it’s all of that.

Either way, I’m happy.
