It’s the way the notes to my favorite slow song make my heart hurt in the best way. It’s the way the grass on the side of the road dances to the summer breeze and reminds me that it’s a beautiful thing to be free spirited. It’s the way the stars shine so bright in the sky on the very nights that I need to just look up. It’s the way the waves that crash on the shore in front of me feel when they unexpectedly reach my toes. It’s the way falling on my bed after a long day of working with kids who sleep on dirt reminds me of the blessings I’ve been given. It’s the way the innocence that sits on the face of the little boy who sells lemonade on the corner of the street makes me want to buy two cups. It’s the sound of rain falling to the ground when I need to shut my eyes. It’s the dreams I have at night that make me wish they were real. It’s the way fireworks light up a dark sky and effortlessly put a childish grin on my face. It’s the small things that I see every day that make me feel alive. Thankful for life today.
