salutations


-Salutations! 
-Salu-what?
-Salutations!
-What are they? And where are you? Please tell me where you are and what are salutations?
-Salutations are greetings. When I say salutations, it's just my fancy way of saying hello or good morning. Actually, it's a silly expression, and I am surprised that I used it at all.

--Charlotte's Web

Some of you may know me better than others. It's been a while since I have simply said, "hello." So please accept my warmest greetings to this little space where I share my heart.

Salutations. I am Abi. I like cheesecake. I sing in the shower: mostly songs of my own invention. I play mandolin when I think nobody's watching. I like red lipstick and pearls and high heels and skirts, but I am equally at home in sweatpants and a messy bun. I bake a lot, I love superhero movies, and I like cardigans. My curly hair is strange in that it makes me insanely happy. I love meeting people and giving out hugs left and right. I eat macaroni and cheese with chopsticks and I have an affinity for all things beautiful.

Hello. Good morning. Salutations. I'm glad you're here.
