this song revitalized me.

earlier tonight, a miracle occurred.
after getting out of the car, i stepped onto the sidewalk and started running a little.
i was so surprised and bewildered and happy that i said, "LOOK! I'M RUNNING!"
just in time for three missionaries exiting their apartment to hear three year-old kellie state the obvious.
what they didn't know, however, was the fact that this was the first time pre-crash that i had run without [much]pain.

so later, i put on my abandoned and neglected sneakers, put on the song posted above, donned cut-off sweats and a ponytail, and ran around porter park.

as a result, my foot hurts a little bit, but i don't care because i realized that:

the only thing more amazing than running outside for the first time in a LONG LONG LONG time is running outside in the rain.
and the only thing more amazing than that is running through the sprinklers before making my way home.

--------------------
today was wonderful because:

1. i got to sit next to lyndee at work.
2. president eyring gave a beautiful devotional.
3. it was sunny in the afternoon and rainy in the evening.
4. i ran and ran and ran.
5. i watched girls just want to have fun while i got ready this afternoon.
6. i wore a skirt.
7. i laughed so hard i almost threw up.
8. work wasn't half as bad as it was yesterday.

what a beautiful day!

expect a happy post from me tomorrow because it is a) my day off and b) temple day!
