The Little Things
Life has its ups and downs. Recently, I have decided there are more downs than ups, but I have been told to concentrate on the ups. So here's to trying.
Pizza. Really good pizza. Really good pizza with friends. Really good pizza with really good friends. Really good pizza with really good friends that you're lucky enough to see almost everyday.
Kisses. Wet kisses. Wet slobbery kisses. Wet slobbery kisses while lying on the couch. Wet slobbery kisses from your young toddler as he attacks you while you're lying on the couch. (Thought I was going somewhere else with that one, weren't you?)
Being loved. Knowing you are loved. Knowing you are loved for who you are, not who someone wants you to be. Knowing you are loved by the one you love. Knowing you are loved by the one you love, and being lucky enough to see that one daily.
The nice part of the downs in life is that they point out just how good the ups are. Sometimes the ups are enormous. An absolutely, fantastically perfect night. A night filled with laughter, friendship, and love. A night that is so perfect that you often wonder if you were dreaming, and you feel blessed knowing that you were wide awake. But sometimes the ups are just those little things in life that hold you together when you are on the brink of breaking down and falling apart. A look. A wink. A touch. A loving note.
Life is a bitch sometimes. Actually, it's a bitch most of the time. But if you just learn to recognize the little pieces of gold scattered throughout your life, you can struggle through with a bit of a smile. And that's all I can ask for.
