7/25/18

A lovely day with my lovely friends. Put into some words.

Four people packed onto one couch like sardines,

A mess of arms and legs

And fingers mindlessly playing with or braiding each others hair

Four friends leaning on each other

Like a very comfortable toppling of dominoes

Passing chips down the line and heckling Shrek 2

Dancing, actually dancing down the street,

Belting "I'll Make A Man Out Of You",

A once quiet suburbia echoing with the dulcet tones of "BE A MAN"

Talking and talking and talking and talking

For ages, and it feels like it's only been about half an hour

And the clock reads 2:30 in the morning

And it may have been the intentionally administered Mountain Dew

But I wasn't tired at all

I was nestled in comforters and kind words from my best friends

And I realized it was a new kind of happiness

Aww...LOVE this!

The visual would make a terrific commercial for Mountain Dew. :-)

Thank you for making me laugh- the world's most relaxed Mountain Dew commercial. And thank you also for your kindness!
