"the day is again full of promise"



"They lay basking in the sun with the delight of those that have been wafted suddendly from bitter winter to a friendly clime, or of people that, after being long ill and  bedridden, wake one day to find that they are unexpectedly well and the day is again full of promise."
the fellowship of the ring // j.r.r tolkien

Being sick is pretty lame. I mean, laying in bed for a week with a cough, 100 and some degree temperature, chills, etc. is obviously, well, not that great. But on the upside, you can take as many naps as you want and discover new shows on Netflix and watch all the episodes.

I'm feeling better now, though, and working on getting back into the swing of things. The day is again full of promise.

And, random side note, to explain these pictures -- Reason number 15657 it's awesome to have a pen pal: they send you yummy recipes! Shout out to Bethany Ann for including her chocolate chip cookie recipe in her last letter. :)

  6. Dear Haley,

    I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. Sickness always is always a drag. I'm always amazed at the lack of ability to do anything when I'm sick, other than feel junk. And 90% of the time I don't feel well enough to even enjoy lazying about.

    These pictures are adorable and those cookies look so scrumptious... ah... Also, that quote is amazing. I love it so much! What books are you reading currently?

    Also, I don't know if I told you yet, but your bangs are amazing. I love them!
