A light mist caressed my cheeks as I walked back from class today

and I enjoyed it even though I had just endured 8 hours of Organic Chemistry.

I saw a shooting star one night last week and it made me feel special for having seen it

even though the conversation at the moment was not as as uplifting.

People are hanging up Christmas decorations and playing holiday tunes

but with the end of the semester comes a gargantuan pile of work.

.

.

There are quite a few things that could bring me down right about now if I let them

But, instead, I refuse to ignore the little gifts that we are given each day.

and I continue to find goodness in yet another sunrise.
