Sometimes

Sometimes I forget… I forget to stop and FEEL. I forget to find joy in the little moments that make up a day, a week, a year, a lifetime. Sometimes it takes something so out of the ordinary to shake me up and make me remember. To make me smile and giggle and sigh. Sometimes it’s as simple as a belly laugh shared with my girls. Sometimes it’s a thought provoking conversation with a revered friend. Sometimes it can come in the form of foolishness, joking with my husband. Sometimes, a long overdue cry while watching some sappy chic flick! Sometimes it’s caught in the light of the sun as it filters through my window. Or the soft, graceful, comfort of a kitten as he purrs. Sometimes it’s an outpouring of heart and soul with my sister. Sometimes it’s a look, or a touch that captures my undivided attention. Sometimes it’s in the kindness of a stranger… Sometimes it’s in the lighthearted unselfishness of a loved one Sometimes it’s finding a friend in the strangest of places. Sometimes it’s connecting with the universe in all of its wondrous magnificence Sometimes it’s in a melody or voice that soothes my mind and alters my mood Sometimes it’s in the innocence of a baby’s breath Sometimes it’s a shared understanding Sometimes it’s a moment of pure satisfaction derived from any number of situations. All of these moments are blessings, given to help me remember. To make me feel. I am eternally grateful for all of these things and so much more!
