[day 50-53: butterflies]

who loves butterflies?

i do!

each of them is so gorgeous.
and from far away, 
they all look the
same...right?

if you ever get the chance to get close,
[i mean, real close]
to a butterfly,
they have the most subtle differences
that make them completely
beautiful
individually.

kinda like people.

now, who loves getting butterflies?

i do, i do, i do!

getting butterflies is one of the greatest things ever. 
it's such a combination of intense emotions!

everyone gets butterflies for one reason oor another.
it's an individual thing...right?

i mean, when we think of getting butterflies,
we generally think of the fleeting feeling in your
tummy that can shoot clear down to your toes
and it makes you feel like you're either going to
fly off the floor
or fall straight to the ground
and pass out...
right?

for me, i get butterflies right before i speak
or sing
or play
in front of people.

but, as corny and cheesy as it sounds,
my very favorite butterflies
are the ones you get right before

someone comes to pick you up for a date,
oor someone gets really really close,
oor pull you in close,
oor whispers in your ear.
oor right when someone grabs your hand,
oor gets the door for you,
oor makes eye-contact with you.

i really hope everyone has had those kinds of butterflies.
because they are the best...

and i've been getting a lot of those lately.
and i cannot even tell you how great it is.

lately, i'm getting them all the time.
just periodically, 
throughout the day.
every time they hit,
i get the biggest smile...
and it stays.

i love butterflies.
both kinds.

flutter by, butterfly.
