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!
