Pure Happiness

Well I could write an entire blog about this new quality I have noticed in myself that is apparent in my mother: the fact that it's 11:50, I can't sleep, so I've been up being productive studying for physics (until now, when my hand is cramping and I needed a blogging break). But I think I'd rather write (or type) about the pure joy that came in the mail today.

When I got the mail today, my birthday card from my aunt was in the mail. I opened up the card, and a piece of paper fell out. I first assumed it was a picture my cousin drew, but as I opened it up, I could feel the smile stretch across my face. As much as I would've loved a picture from my 3 year old cousin (oh my goodness, she's almost FOUR! what in the world??), this was even better. I've been telling everybody I don't need anything, because well, I don't. So my aunt instead of buying me something I didn't need donated money to Cho-Yeh so somebody else would have the chance to go to camp and experience the same things I do every summer.

I honestly could not have asked for anything better. I love that place so much, and it was truly a wonderful gift. Thinking that instead of getting a gift card for new music or new clothes that I could live without, somebody else gets a chance to have the same life-changing experience I have been lucky enough to have just makes me so happy. It was pure happiness :)

(My birthday was wonderful and amazing. I'm planning on blogging about that this weekend after Kemah on SAT [happy? I fixed it!] because physics has decided to consume the rest of my week. It was a truly phenomenal day though!)
