| | What would it be like?
I just wondered that a minute ago.
To not see the stars shine on a clear night out in the country, when
your breath hangs like an invisible mask to peer through into the
expanse?
To not hear laugter, to not just hear the voices of the people you
love, and the debates and exchanges and subtle words that fall like
rain?
To never see a sunset that takes your very last breath away, that makes you gasp even though you're breathing just fine?
What do we take for granted--the ordinary that we have so often, it is
no longer extraoridnary? The sights, the music, the...everything,
the life we live?
How lucky are we, really, even on our most unlucky of days?
Much more so than we can ever imagine, or dare to.
Life is like a huge present. And every day, we peel back just a little
more wrapping, and see a little bit more into the box that is our time
on this earth. And we wonder and exclaim, but we cannot even being to
fathom how amazing it is. Because our minds cannot truly wrap
themselves around that fact. It's just too big, too great, too
wonderful.
Too ordinary.
Goodness. I like life sometimes.
(Can't tell, can you?)
I've had a rough month. But I couldn't be luckier. What do I have? I
have friends that love me, and would do anything for me when I'm down
OR up. Who make me smile and laugh and never cease to amaze me
with their insight. I have a family that supports me way more
than I begin to deserve, and much much more. I write, and I love to
write, and somehow I ended up being able to actually use this crazy
talent of mine. I live in a place that allows me to grow up in the best
way possible, and get a wonderful experience before I'm thrust into
this crazy, messed-up world that we have. And I forget it so mucn, that
I almost forget how lucky I really am.
Really.
Lucky.
Me.
Bottom line, Life is good. Even when it's so bad, it's so good. And I forget that way too much.
No day but today, dear friends--
Laurel
