16 Days Til Graduation

The days to come are filled with many little ironies,

many little moments where my cheeks hurt

and I can't keep from smiling because God is just so funny.

He fills my life with many little twists

and little angles

and little plot points;

so that, eventually,

my body seems so confining to my spirit

that all I can do is

squirm

and walk around

and jump

and dance

and sing

and giggle

and laugh at the days to come.

*I wrote this last year, and was torn between the title at the top and "Laughing at the Days to Come." And now I am celebrating my one year graduation anniversary (+ one day), which is hard to believe. My best wishes to class of 2011.
