you're the one i want to hear

i have recently been appreciating the benefits of being in full health. you see... when you are sick sick sick it is very easy to think about being well. i actually used an entire box of kleenex while on an airplane. poor woman sitting next to me. you know you're in trouble when you blow your nose and it wakes someone up. on a plane? yep, i was on an airplane on wednesday returning from a delightful trip with my family. we were in san diego from saturday to wednesday and i have decided that i just love san diego!

it was the best song i've heard in a long while.
