Life is good. It is also very busy, kind of crazy, full of work and classes and drawing and homework with reading and sleep and suchlike filling in the cracks--but life is fundamentally, firstly, and generally... good.
I have noticed over the last few weeks that I smile alot more than I used to. A gentle smile, as opposed to a slight frown, has become my neutral I'm-just-walking-from-here-to-there-and-thinking-of-nothing-in-particular expression. I had come to accept that a slight frown is just my regular neutral expression, that I'm not a smiley person. I still don't think I'm a smiley person, but that does not mean that I can't or won't be "neutrally happy", if that makes any sense to anyone but me. Devins favorite joke on me is, "Stop looking so happy, Sarah." Of course he means it sarcastically, but seriously--I don't want to stop, now I've learned how. :D

Sarah, this makes me so happy! I totally know what you mean about neutral happiness as apposed to neutral slight-scowliness. And LIFE IS GOOD indeed! Hooray!
good to hear!! I'm glad you're happy.
Good! and yes we will be there for Conference;)
this is Mom...in Bre's account.
I saw some pictures of me playing the bells in bell choir absolutly scowling in intense concentration--I looked furious. Actually I vowed to be sure to smile every time I played bells forevermore. Yes, you can teach yourself a default expression leaning on the happy side. After all, life IS good.
Seriously, I love that you made that little discovery about yourself. The smiling one. I think that you should keep on smiling...it makes the surrounding area that much more bright. :)
And selfishly, yay for the surrounding area being my workstation! ;)
Jake says so
