"Summoning the Spirit We..."

Miss Kylee made me cry to-day.

And now I am going to watch a Doris Day film to mend my broken heart. Fwee!

"I Took Up Croquet To-day and I'm on Fire..."

I--love. I love.

I can't even begin to say how much, except maybe a little, but I. I. I feel tight inside with it, and I want to send everybody photographs of everything lovely and wonderful (which is everything) -- I want to tell people I'm in love, I want to tell people I love, I want to tell people that the people I know (the people I love) are the most beautiful people in the whole world--

I want to let people I've never met know that Mary M. at work seems like she might be getting better, and even her trach doesn't seem to make her voice as much like choking, and her daughter came and braided her hair to-day, and she smiled at me--

I want to tell people walking on the street that Miss Kylee is beautiful and wonderful and I'd give anything to cry the way I cried this morning every morning or at least often enough that I didn't ever forget the feeling--

I want it to be known and noticed. I'm in love, I love, I love, I'm in love.

It was Charlie's birthday to-day.

Eleanor came out of her room to-day.

There are paper hearts hanging across my ceiling to-day.

Kathryn said I make her smile to-day.

Dick said I was wonderful just because I got him a ginger ale with ice in it to-day.

I'm wearing a scarf that shines in the light and is the most beautiful colours in the world to-day.

May I please dance until I fall down too tired? May I please smile until it hurts? May I please laugh and cry and sing and sleep and love, love, love? I love, I'm in love. Everything is too good to me, I don't know why it should be. I don't know why--it feels like there are flowers everywhere.

I could kiss stars to-day.
