Lately life seems to be incredibly complicated. Bills, jobs, loves, ghosts of the past, the list seems endless. It is so easy to drown in the quagmire of all that is. In an effort to keep myself afloat, I try to remember the simple things in life that make me smile.
the smell of fresh cut grass
walking my dog
waking up in the morning with my cat purring on my chest
eating a piece of vanilla cake
the way it feels when the person you love squeezes your hand in a crowd of people
laughing so hard that you cry
getting a phone call from a dear friend
eating a piece of delicious cheese
watching a great movie
ordering chinese food with a great friend
feeling the warm sun on my face
hearing the birds singing
crawling into bed after a long day of work, knowing you will be asleep soon
listening to the sound of my nephew's voice
dancing around my house
It is easy to feel like you are drowning. It is harder to remember the things that keep you afloat.
