There's nothing like yellow tulips and sunshine to make you happy :)

For my birthday, Eve gave me these really pretty yellow tulips and they are actually still alive despite having been without water for 3 days and I think they're GROWING!!!! According to Liz, the trick is to cut the stems diagonally and add a pinch of bi-carb to the water. =D

I've discovered that I love waking up and walking into the living room and see a vase of yellow tulips and the sunshine streaming in through the blinds. In fact, it's feeling more like summer than winter these days. A sign of global warming, or just blue skies in winter????

Anyhow, here is a formula for happiness. You should try it some day....

YELLOW TULIPS + SUNSHINE = HAPPPYYYYYYYYYY

I also wouldn't mind waking up to a rainbow anytime soon :)

let us speak wise words. ;)

"Movement does not exist outside of the human body. To become a true dancer means to bring to ideal balance the physical impossibilities of your stubborn imperfect body with the possibilities of your soul. Which, as you move through life is continually renewing itself and demanding new expression."
- Natalia Makarova

"Don't ask what the world needs. As what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world eeds is people who have come alive."

"Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes."
- for Eve's sake: Oscar Wilde

"The most important things in life aren't things."

It never becomes easy—it becomes possible. The effort involved in making a dancer’s body is so long and relentless, in many instances painful, the effort to maintain the technique so grueling that unless a certain satisfaction is derived from the disciplining and the punishing, the pace could not be maintained.”
- Agnes de Mille
