I cannot say that enough. With every second--with every breath-- I am thankful for my life. I have been blessed beyond belief, truly. Sometimes a certain song, or a quote in a movie, a beautiful sunset, or an act of kindness just touches my soul and reminds me that I am certainly lucky to be alive.
I don't want to waste one moment!
I've taken it upon myself to spend as much time with friends and family as possible before the move. I spent the day with my mom and aunt. We had a blast. While venturing around, I learned something new abut myself: without hesitation, I press my face against the car glass like a child every time I pass across the New River Gorge. There's something about being up there. On top of the world.
I also noticed that when together, my mom and aunt have this child-like presence. They laugh carry on; they have fun and they don't care who's watching.
And lastly, I noticed Rigby-- no matter how long I leave him locked in the bathroom while away (don't worry, I leave food, water, toys, his bed, bone, etc)-- he still greets me with the happiest, puppy-like expression. No grudges.
So why don't we live everyday like that? Children obviously know where it's at. They get up early to play the day away, they have no worries, they don't let the opinions or wrong doing of other's get in their way, they are not prone to thoughts of inequality, race, or gender, they just live.
After a while we will start to love others who have wronged us, because life is too short to have hat in out hearts. We'll learn patience, for good things happen to those who wait. All-in-all happiness is where we find it rarely where we seek it.
Signing off for now to look at the stars,
-Tabitha
