step four



finally (and perhaps most obviously): flowers. when all else fails: flowers. yellow daffodils in particular. because january is no match for the daffodil, no match at all.

My roommates picked me up a surprise bouquet of yellow flowers to cheer me up yesterday, and it was wonderful. It's to know yellow flowers are universal. :)

These are so pretty. I can't wait, as they're always the first to pop out of the ground!
