Miracle the first: My giddy good mood.
It is silly I know, but kickboxing class makes me very happy. All day on Wednesday I look forward to going, and then I go, and I have fun, and I come home in a great mood. It's a good workout, but it is also a plain ol' good time. Tonight there were only three of us, so the teacher had us try some new things that we don't normally get to do. The jumping kicks were awesome. He's slightly horrified by my crappy punching though. I try, but I'm not keeping my arms close enough to my body when I hit the punching bag or something. Hopefully I'll get better at it at some point.
Miracle the second: quick hair repair
Bonus of curly hair that I just don't appreciate enough: the ability to wet it down and start over. My new haircut has bangs, which are new for me. I'm supposed to sort of pull them straight and sweep/tuck them off to the side. When I get it right, it looks very cute, but I'm still getting used to having them. Today at work I went into the bathroom and noticed that my bangs looked a little weird. I must have pulled an extra clump into the straight bit, because they were too thick. For once though, having curly hair worked in my favor, as I was able to put a little water on the extra bit, scrunch it up to be curly with my fingers, and voila, back to normal looking!
Miracle the third: Christmas spirit...slowly...growing.
With every present I buy, I feel myself getting a little bit more into Christmas. Coming home to my pretty Christmas tree helps too. I'm finally feeling some of that "goodwill toward men" that you expect to feel around this time of year. About damn time, right?
