This is Peanut Butter Brickle. I don’t show my excitement about much. That’s because I don’t get excited about much. Especially on rainy days.

But have you ever noticed that there are others that seem to make life a party every day? No matter what is going on? Yes.

And I noticed yesterday that even with all of the rain and the cold, the squirrels were hopping around.

The birds were singing in the rain.

And it was like Snow White was around here. I’m not Snow White.

But I started to feel bad about not being as happy. I started to wonder if anyone else felt like me. Sometimes I feel alone.

Girl Person told me it was ok that I don’t act the same as others. She said that although she wants me to be happy, if I like myself, that’s ok. I can have my own party.

She said there are individuals who like to be around others all of the time.

But she said that there are others that prefer their own company and their own thoughts. Maybe that’s who I am.

She said that’s ok. If you smile at the party, that’s what counts.

I’ve learned everyone likes their own kind of party.

As long as you have one that you want to go to, that’s what counts.
