1st anniversary
I�m downloading happy Beatles songs and enjoying the sunshine today. I�ve been so extremely tired and busy lately with school that I rarely have time to write and when I do I opt to flip channels on the TV in a comatose state instead. It�s horrible really.

This year when I pulled out the cake I got quite choked up because it was nearly perfect and it was like pulling that day out of a memory box and rejoicing in it. It was great and I�m glad I did it.
