because "i like you" so much


21 years ago i got one of the sweetest presents.
it was for no big reason at all except that it was monday.
that...and i had a premium first class magnificent friend who liked me!
those are some of the best friends to have.
the ones who celebrate the ordinary.
the ones you share your good ideas with.
and they think you are the smartest person that was ever born.
everyone needs a friend that likes them.
a friend that makes everything nicer when they are around.
a friend that throws confetti their way just because it.s monday.
and today just so happens to be monday!
so...happy monday friends!
what can you do to make someone else.s 
monday a bit nicer today?

cul*ti*vate happier mondays and good friends too

-oh, and to my very bestest monday friend...miss allison...I LIKE YOU!-

  1. Ah love this. I like you miss Chrissy. I love finding all of the old books from childhood, all of mine are still at the parents house in the UK. So lovely those memories and such innocence. Monday is my new favourite day - its the start of a fresh week with no mistakes in it, a day of rest and going swimming and I love catching up on all my blogs too. I'm going to cook my friend dinner tonight. xxx
