Color Me Happy

It doesn't take much to make me giddy.

I can be wonderfully complex, but at heart, I am a very simple girl pleased by very simple, sentimental, things.

A quick sampling:

• a yellow No. 2 pencil
• a star-filled sky
• a cold morning
• Tilly's body wag
• Mr. J's smile

I could go on (and on). But I will keep it simple.

Today is a good day. I got all the above, all before noon, and then something more: a phone call with a cheerful voice saying my biopsy was benign.

Imagine a canary-yellow sun in a cornflower-blue sky over a singing, smiling, carnation-pink-ribboned-ponytailed girl with her scarlet-red-heart-shaped joy.

Can you picture it? 'Cause I can. I can hear it.

And it sounds like YAY.
